Ask the expert

With this collaborative format MaxBI and the German BioImaging Society (GerBi) will give you as a scientist the chance to get in contact with some experts and experienced users of different microscopy techniques. We invite these experts to answer your questions in a video conference. You may provide images as examples ahead to visualize your problem or question.
