Core Facility LISA+ - Center for Light Matter Interaction, Sensors and Analytics

The research and service facility LISA+ is one of the three Core Facilities within the infrastructure of the University of Tübingen. LISA+was founded in 2011 and originates from the intensive cooperation of several research groups for physics and chemistry, who are sharing the existing multi disciplinary Nanostructure and Analysis Laboratory.
