Bioimaging with advanced microscopes is one of the most used research methods in life sciences, needed by almost all researchers studying for instance cancer medicine, viruses or the immune system. In Finland, critical services in bioimaging are provided by the Finnish Advanced Microscopy Node (FiAM), operating in Turku, Helsinki and Oulu. FiAM is led by Turku BioImaging, and it is one of the most popular service units of the large European landmark infrastructure Euro-BioImaging. FiAM's services are very important also for numerous Finnish health and drug development companies. In the 3D-BioImage project, FiAM will establish an extensive set of the newest microscopy methods, capable of high-resolution 3D imaging also from living samples. FiAM will also establish 3D image analysis services based on artificial intelligence, and a remote access model for the green transition. All the new services are critically needed by FiAM's users and significantly broaden the Node's societal impact.
