Our facility provides researchers with top-end optical and electron microscope infrastructure for live-cell imaging, multi-photon imaging, advanced sample preparation including cryo-preparation for electron microscopy, routine SEM and TEM, Cryo-SEM, Cryo-TEM, FIB-SEM, Cryo-FIB-SEM, TEM tomography, and Correlative Light and Electron Microscopy (CLEM). Currently, the BIF is equipped with 4 electron microscopes (2 SEMs and 2 TEMs), 2 advanced fluorescence microscopes (confocal/multi-photon and spinning disk), cryo-fixation (High pressure freezer, Vitrobot) and EM processing equipment (Microwave, critical point dryer, coaters).
The Bioimaging Facility has three technical staff with extensive experience providing technical knowledge and can support users from diverse research disciplines from life sciences to material sciences.
