Finnish Advance Microscopy (FiAM) Node received the Academy of Finland “FIRI 2023: roadmap research infrastructures 2021–2024” funding. A total of 7,2 million euros will be granted to the FiAM Node over the period of 2024-2026. Decision can be found here. The FIRI funding will be used to strength and upgrade the technological capabilities and services of imaging core facilities that are part of the FiAM Node in Helsinki (University of Helsinki), Turku (University of Turku & Åbo Akademi University), and Oulu (University of Oulu). FiAM Node led by Turku BioImaging is one of the most popular service unit of the large European landmark infrastructure Euro-BioImaging. FiAM’s services are very important also for numerous Finnish health and drug development companies. With the FIRI funding FiAM Node will establish an extensive set of the newest microscopy methods, capable of high-resolution 3D imaging also from living samples. FiAM will also establish 3D image…
