ICAN Notes

ICAN Notes is a format with which we want to provide you with helpful and interesting information about the methods and techniques in the ICAN portfolio. The spectrum of the Notes will range from basic articles on specific methods, technical tips and tricks for the use of individual devices, to applications that demonstrate the special possibilities and limits of the respective techniques.

All ICAN Notes are archived by the UDE-library, provided with a DOI and are therefore citable as (unreferenced) publications.
