Patrick Then 

I'm an imaging specialist at the Microverse Imaging Center, the imaging facility of the Balance of the Microverse Cluster of Excellence. I provide training in the use of our microscopes, support our users in their imaging tasks and take care of the microscopes located in the facility. With a background in physics and optical single molecule detection, I'm in particular also taking care of projects related to Single Molecule Localization Microscopy (SMLM, e.g. dSTORM). Feel free to contact me for any questions regarding the use of our microscopes!
