Research FacilitiesMicroscopy Laboratory
The facility provides state-of-the-art light microscopy equipment and image analysis tools as well as training and support for all CSC users.
The Microscopy Laboratory offers a large variety of systems ranging from basic stereo microscopes to the latest confocal workstations to assist CSC staff and students in their research.
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.
