Scientific accuracy
is guaranteed by the cooperation between the IWF and the head of the "Arbeitskreis
kinematische Zellforschung" at the Biocenter
of the University of Frankfurt a. M. Prof.
Dr. Jürgen Bereiter-Hahn.
He is a cell biologist with many years of experience in the use of the
media in teaching biology (film, video, PC, videodisc), particularly in
the sector of cell biology. His expertise in the field of modern video-supported
microscopic techniques has enriched the project. Accordingly, it has been
possible to make confocal laserscan images as well as use high-resolution
videomicroscopy with digital post-processing.
Prof. Dr. Bereiter-Hahn has long-term practical knowledge of the techniques
of editing scientific film footage for university teaching purposes (having
spent several years as Director of the Media Studies department of the
"Didaktisches Zentrum" at the University of Frankfurt; co-publisher of
the videodiscs on the topic of "Cell Biology" for the IWF; scientifc film
author).
Specialty topics are the supramolecular organization of cytoplasm as well
as methods for preparing transplantable tissue.
