Imaging the invisible: how can research software and imaging techniques help scientists study the things we can’t see?

Futurum

This software is needed to collect and analyse the data from images, as well as to create simulations and compare their results. Because computational methods originated in the natural sciences, some disciplines, such as chemistry and physics, have lots of research software at their disposal. Scientific imaging in chemistry.
