The K2 TIRF microscope was designed and constructed as part of Christian Niederauer's PhD project, under the supervision of Dr. Kristina Ganzinger at AMOLF.
It is specifically intended to serve as the primary tool for TIRF microscopy in the Physics of Cellular Interactions group. The development and setup of the microscope was supported by AMOLF's in-house engineering teams and precision manufacturing workshop.:
