Key role in imaging and manufacturing The Nano Imaging Lab and Nano Fabrication Lab are important contacts for researchers within and outside the SNI network. Together, these two groups form the SNI’s Nano Technology Center and are playing a key role in the SNI’s focus on nanoimaging and nanofabrication. The NI Lab has been involved in projects dealing with sustainable viticulture under changing climatic condi- tions for many years. Here, the team used scanning electron microscopy to visualize the infestation of grapes by fungi. (Image: E. Bieler, NI Lab, SNI, University of Basel) 50 SNI Annual Report 2025
