Christoph Greb , Dr.
Christoph Greb studierte Zellbiologie, Parasitologie und Virologie an der Philipps-Universität in Marburg. Im Rahmen seiner Diplomarbeit und seiner Dissertation am dortigen Institut für Zytobiologie und Zytopathologie untersuchte er den vesikulären Transport von apikal gelegenen Proteinen in polarisierten Epithelzellen mit Hilfe von Biochemie sowie TIRF- und konfokaler Mikroskopie. Ab Dezember 2011 schrieb er als freier Mitarbeiter für das Leica Science Lab. Nach einem Engagement bei Novartis Vaccines & Diagnostics begann er im Oktober 2013 als Scientific Writer für das Widefield-Team von Leica Microsystems.
Infinity Optical Systems
“Infinity Optics” refers to the concept of a beam path with parallel rays between the objective and the tube lens of a microscope. Flat optical components can be brought into this “Infinity Space”…
Universal PAINT – Dynamic Super-Resolution Microscopy
Super-resolution microscopy techniques have revolutionized biology for the last ten years. With their help cellular components can now be visualized at the size of a protein. Nevertheless, imaging…
Sample Preparation for GSDIM Localization Microscopy – Protocols and Tips
The widefield super-resolution technique GSDIM (Ground State Depletion followed by individual molecule return) is a localization microscopy technique that is capable of resolving details as small as…
Image Processing for Widefield Microscopy
Fluorescence microscopy is a modern and steadily evolving tool to bring light to current cell biological questions. With the help of fluorescent proteins or dyes it is possible to make discrete…
Basic Principles of Luminescence
There are a lot of light-emitting processes occurring in nature. Luminescence is an umbrella term for those kinds of events where light emission is not the result of high temperatures. This article…
Fluorescent Proteins - From the Beginnings to the Nobel Prize
Fluorescent proteins are the fundament of recent fluorescence microscopy and its modern applications. Their discovery and consequent development was one of the most exciting innovations for life…
