Valued support Employees of the Nano Technology Center support scienti昀椀c projects and conduct research themselves. They are also involved in helping students with their Matura theses. For example, the Nano Imaging Lab team made it possible to study insect wings using scanning electron microscopy. In addition to the Nano Imaging Lab, the Nano Fabri- cation Lab, which was founded in 2022, is also part of the SNI`s Nano Technology Center. The two service units provide comprehensive services for cus- tomers from industry and academia in the 昀椀eld of imaging, processing and analyzing surfaces as well as micro- and nanofabrication.
