The imaging research service encompasses a wide range of modern and classical methods that can capture spatial structures and properties at different scales – from single cells to entire landscapes. Typical fields of application on the landscape and field scales include, for example, earth surface surveying for the creation of 3D terrain models as well as erosion measurements using terrestrial or UAS (drone)-based laser scanners and photogrammetry, the determination of vegetation indices (e.g. NDVI) and plant physiological states by spectral imaging (VIS-NIR, hyperspectral), or the recording of surface temperatures using high-resolution thermography.
At the microscopic level, in addition to 2D imaging such as confocal, scanning electron and fluorescence microscopy, techniques such as holotomographic microscopy for imaging living cells and X-ray microtomography for detecting the internal structure of solids (e.g. porous media such as rocks or soils) are used.
X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy can also be used to spatially (2D) quantify the chemical compositions and bonding states of mineral and organic surfaces. Finally, methods of quantitative image analysis, which can be conducted (semi-)automated and AI-based, support the analysis of spatial structures and patterns in terms of their morphological and topological properties.
