The CEF offers services related to cryo electron microscopy to all members of the University of Freiburg as well as external universities and research institutions.
Services include grid preparation, screening and data collection, as well as user training.

MRDAC is an official core facility of the medical faculty of the University of Freiburg and is registered in the RIsources database of the German Research Foundation (DFG) under the number RI_00444.

The MR Development and Application Center origins in the Medical Physics group, Dept. of Radiology, University Medical Center Freiburg, one of the internationally leading groups in the field of methodological developments in Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Spectroscopy and its application in clinics and research.
MRDAC was established in 2001 to serve as a platform for collaborations with partners in industry and research according to industrial quality and performance standards. The incorporation of MRDAC as an institution of the University Medical Center Freiburg allows us to incorporate the expertise and excellence of clinicians and scientists from a wide range of fields into our projects and services. Thus, it serves as an interface between the scientific activities of the Medical Physics group and professional users in industry and academia.

The main branches of MRDAC include
- the development of novel MR sequences and methods and
- design, implementation, and execution of pharmaceutical MR studies.

In addition we offer services such as teaching, training, and consulting on-site as well as in Freiburg.

The Life Imaging Center (LIC) is a central core facility of the Albert-Ludwigs-University Freiburg open to members of all Faculties and the Universitätsklinikum. Currently more than 280 active users from six Faculties (Biology, Medicine, Chemistry and Pharmacy, Environment and Natural Resources, Mathematics and Physics, and Engineering) use the LIC infrastructure. LIC users come from more than 90 workgroups and the combined usage time of the LIC microscopes in 2017 was about 10.350 hours. The LIC has approximately 60 - 80 new users per year and approximately the same number leaving the facility each year.
The Life Imaging Center (LIC) consists of 14 rooms in the Center for Integrative Signalling Analysis (CISA) with approximately 400 m² (9 microscopy rooms with 20 microscope set-ups (3D-STED, confocal FLIM, two 2-photon confocal microscopes, 4 conventional confocal microscopes, lightsheet microscope, 4 high-end widefield ratio-imaging set-ups, 4 fluorescence stereo microscopes, 3 special set-ups for screening). The LIC microscopes are hosted in Biosafety level S2 and S1 environments, connected to a large wet lab area and a cell culture room, both Biosafety level S2 classified. Additionally, the LIC offers a large computer lab with 12 high-end workstations for image processing and analysis. The LIC also covers two additional rooms (35 m²), hosting 3 LSM systems in a neighboring building of the Signalling Campus Freiburg (SCF).
