Abstract:
After a construction period of 13 months, WITec GmbH, manufacturer of nano-analytical microscopy systems has moved to its new headquarters building in Ulm. The new building contains customized production facilities, seminar rooms and office space to meet WITec's requirements for developing and producing state of the art microscopy systems. Light filled spaces and open structures dominate the architectural design of the building to create a creative and interactive work environment on 4 floors and more than 1900 sq mtrs. To meet the increasing demand for high resolution microscopy solutions, the new building was a necessity in order to secure future growth potential. The driving force behind this successful development is the highly sensitive Confocal Raman Microscope system, which allows the three dimensional imaging of chemical compounds of various materials
