Facility Details

We provide training, assistance and services in light microscopy, electron microscopy and image analysis.

Light-microscopy: We will consult with you about your project, advise on experimental design and sample preparation, and train you to take images. We have experience with confocal, light-sheet, widefield fluorescence, darkfield, and polarization microscopy. Tiling, multi-day live-cell experiments, FRAP, FRET, spectral imaging and other experimental designs are available.

Electron microscopy: We will consult with you about your project, can prepare your samples, take images for you or train you to take images. Our services include SEM prep, embedding, ultrathin sections, negative staining and immunoEM. Transmission and scanning electron microscopy available.

Image analysis: We can advise and train you to do image processing and data analysis. Imaris (3D analysis), Autoquant (deconvolution) and FIJI (mostly 2D analysis, macros) software available.

We look forward to hearing about your research needs and how we can help. We will strive to understand the details of what you are doing, advise which instruments will most advance your research, train you on the relevant equipment and provide continued assistance. We are here to help you and can consult on all aspects of your project, from sample preparation, to image acquisition and data analysis.
