This week we had a visit from Dr Lukas Epprecht from Helbling Technik AG. After a joint presentation, we discussed the possibilities for collaboration. We are excited to see what can develop from this - the start has been made!

As part of a customer project with Novartis, a tailor-made infrastructure for the controlled injection of prefilled syringes (PFS) was developed.

We are pleased to report on the successful collaboration with Laurent Feuz, Michael Grob, Daniel Zürcher and Magnus Kristiansen from the Institute of Polymer Nanotechnology INKA at the FHNW.

This week we had the honour of a visit from Dr. Stanislas Petrash from the Advanced Characterization group at Henkel KGaA, that focuses on scientific collaborations with world's leading research institutions specializing in advanced analytical methods from the USA. After a brief review of the joint projects already realised, we had an intensive exchange about further potential cooperation opportunities. We are looking forward to the coming cooperation.

Our presentation, "Materials Characterisation for Industry in Combination Using Large Scale Facilities and Electron Microscopy," explored how combining electron microscopy and large-scale facilities techniques can provide powerful insights for industrial applications.
It was an inspiring event filled with fascinating talks and great conversations with fellow researchers, industrial users and Imaging specialists working in different topics. A big thank you to the Nano Imaging Lab team for organizing such a well-curated and engaging event.

On 08.04.2025 the SNI's Nano Imaging Lab User Event will take place in Basel. Cynthia Chang will give a talk on “Materials Characterisation for Industry in Combination Using Large Scale Facilities and Electron Microscopy”.
