Microscopy and imaging

The Microscopy and Imaging Facility consists of a fully equipped laboratory with advanced instrumentation for optical microscopy and microanalysis, and a laboratory to work with photodocumentation, photography and different techniques related to the light detection. The Microscopy service covers complete processes, from sample preparation and sectioning to observation, as well as the application of immunotechniques and in situ-hybridization techniques. The Service also has a laser microdissection platform that allows recovery of cells or cell groups, selected under microscopic control from complex tissues, for the specific molecular analysis of those cells. The Microscopy and Imaging Facility provides advice on experimental design, and applications and support for image data analysis to internal and external customers. Training to use the Facility equipment is also provided to CRAG users.
