The facility is currently equipped with four confocal laser scanning microscopes, 6 widefield fluorescence microscopes and a PALM laser microdissection system. Live-cell imaging is performed on two dedicated workstations enclosed by environmental chambers to maintain constant temperature and CO2 levels. Several offline workstations can be used for image processing, visualisation and analysis of user data. A transmission electron microscope is also available in a separate laboratory.

Staff provide user training and continuing support ranging from help with experimental design, image processing/visualisation and quantitative image analysis to direct collaboration on specific projects.
