Facility Details

The Confocal and Specialized Microscopy Shared Resource provides advanced microscope systems for multidimensional optical imaging of living and fixed cells and tissues.
The facility offers a range of state-of-the-art microscopy technologies, including confocal, super-resolution (SIM and STORM), and wide-field microscopy as well as laser capture and microirradiation.
We also offer software and support for image processing, analysis, and presentation.
