State-of-the-art light microscopy (optical, confocal, spectral)
The Advanced BioImaging Facility (ABIF) offers 17 state-of-the-art light microscopy platforms and the training and expertise required to use the equipment to its full potential. In-depth consultations, ongoing support, image processing, image analysis and preparation of data for publication all contribute to using researchers’ time effectively, high-quality data and elevating research projects to the next level. The facility has expertise in many areas of cellular imaging, including, but not limited to, live cell imaging, High-Content Screening (HCS), Fluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching (FRAP), Fluorescence-lifetime imaging (FLIM), Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET), Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS), image-correlation spectroscopy, Total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF), spectral imaging, high-content screening, multi-photon imaging, Light Sheet, Tissue Clearing, cellular-image analysis, quantitative image analysis and custom-image analysis.
Free consultations, one-on-one training, confocal microscopy, Fluorescence-lifetime imaging (FLIM), wide-field microscopy, deconvolution, live cell time lapse, multi-colour imaging, spectral imaging, tiling for high-resolution imaging of large samples, workshops, courses, tutorials, product information sessions, equipment demonstrations
