Increased Resource Efficiency in Light Microscopy by Quality Control and Standards (QUAREP-LiMi)

Project summary

Project Duration: 1.1.2026-31.12.2029

QUAREP-LiMi website: https://www.quarep.org

Funded by DFG.

Project description

The project aims to improve the resource efficiency of light microscopy instrumentation by establishing quality control procedures and community standards. Building on the internationally recognized QUAREP-LiMi initiative (Quality Assessment and Reproducibility for Instruments and Images in Light Microscopy), the project will enhance instrument performance monitoring, standardization, and data quality assurance. These efforts will help reduce downtime, extend equipment lifespan, and ensure more sustainable and reproducible use of microscopy resources.
