Cellular Imaging Core
The Core provides microscopy imaging facilities, advice on their use and general technical support.
The Core has a Leica SP8-X SMD confocal, a Zeiss 510 MetaHead confocal and two standard wide-field fluorescence microscope imaging systems, plus image analysis and process workstations running CytoVision, ImageJ, Fuji, Icy, IPLab, MetaMorph, NISElements, and Volocity.
Our new Leica TCS SP8 confocal with FLIM+FCS hybrid detectors and white light laser was installed in October 2013. Both confocal microscopes are configured for long-term live cell imaging and for visualising fixed specimens on slides.
As well as helping with imaging and analysis at the microscope, the Core can provide advice on the overall experimental strategy, and help with the design and practical execution of immunostaining experiments. For further details follow the Microscopy Facilities link.
