Karin Aumayr - Head of BioOptics Facility

Karin has worked in all areas of the BioOptics Facility, fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS), microscopy and image analysis. She is helping with the planning of experiments and discussing available methodology as well as requests for future equipment. She is also specialized in image processing and analysis and is assisting in all questions concerning imaging.

Pawel Pasierbek - Microscopy

Pawel is assisting with all microscopy questions, however he is specialized in laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM), live cell imaging and deconvolution. He is helping with the set up of the experiment and the best choice of instrument for it. He is giving trainings including both the usage of the hard- and software as well as the optical background of the used system.

Gabi Stengl - Flow Cytometry / Microscopy

Gabi is operating the sorters used for fluorescence activated cell sorting and is helping with the set up of FACS experiments. She is giving training in the usage of the analytic flow cytometers as well as of the data analysis software. She can help with a lot of microscopy questions and, being specialized in widefield microscopy, she is also giving introductions in these systems.

Gerald Schmauss - Flow Cytometry / Image Analysis

Gerald is operating the FACS sorters and is giving introductions to the analytical FACS machines. He is also programming algorithms for automated image analysis using the Definiens Software Suite.

Thomas Lendl - Flow Cytometry

Thomas is operating the cell sorters and giving support for the analytical FACS machines. He is also gaining experience in image processing and analysis.
