Operating since August 2004, Seawater Facility supports academic research and undergraduate teaching in Division of Environmental Life Sciences. Facility is used by marine scientists at Macquarie and their collaborative partners, to conduct controlled experiments and to temporarily house marine specimens.

The Microbial Imaging Facility (MIF) at UTS has been established to provide:
1. High-resolution imaging of bacteria and parasites, and their interactions with host eukaryotic cells.
2. High-resolution imaging of biological processes of larger eukaryotic cells, spheroids, tissues and organs including the use of micro-fluidic devices.
3. Equipment for biological specimen preparation for optical and electron microscopy.
4. Training and on-going support on the use of both basic and advanced microscopes including:
transmitted light, wide-field fluorescence, confocal laser-scanning, super-resolution, high-content imaging, slide-scanning microscopy and a range of image analysis and 3D-image visualisation software (includes FIJI, Huygens, Leica AIVIA, ZEISS ZEN Intellesis and Bitplane™ Imaris)
