Professor Armin Delong, a founder of electron microscopy in the former Czechoslovakia and prominent physicist, passed away on October 5, 2017 at the age of 92 (*29.1.1925 - ✝5.10.2017). Armin Delong, together with professor Vladimír Drahoš, developed the first commercially successful electron microscope BS 242. This instrument was awarded a Gold Medal at the World Exhibition EXPO 58 in Brussels (1958) and was subsequently produced by Tesla Brno.
The Biomolecular Interactions and Crystallography Core Facility of CEITEC MU is very happy to announce the installation of a new cutting-edge instrument that will assist in the characterization of macromolecular complexes. Mass photometer TwoMP (Refeyn) is designed to precisely determine the molecular mass of proteins, nucleic acids, and other macromolecules in a broad range of sizes.
On November 14, 2024, all CIISB management bodies met to listen to the current status of the research infrastructure and its core facilities at CEITEC - Central European Institute of Technology and Institute of Biotechnology.
