More about the project
The Forest Products research group at Linnaeus University uses a light microscope as a central tool in research on forest and wood technology. To ensure continued accuracy and reliability, regular maintenance, calibration, and upgrades are required, particularly to optimise functions such as polarised light and fluorescence filters. This fund is used to enhance the microscope’s capabilities through new filters, calibration, and servicing, thereby strengthening research opportunities in the field.
The project is also part of the research in the research group Forest Products.
