Insects are by far the most species-rich class of animals. They inhabit the most unusual habitats. But what makes them so successful? We introduce the subjects of our research and discuss their lifestyles and their contribution to science.
In an era of rising antibiotic resistance, the rapid characterization of the bacteria causing the infection is becoming increasingly important. We demonstrate how new optical and spectroscopic methods can contribute to this effort.
For over 100 years, ZEISS has been developing technologies that allow us to look inside the eye. Discover historical and modern fundus cameras, learn how eye diseases are diagnosed, and become an eye researcher yourself.
