Light Microscopy Core

Overview of Services

The LM core provides assistance in sample preparation, trouble-shooting, choosing the appropriate instruments, and in data analysis. Possibility for collaboration. Cell culture space to culture and manipulate cells before and between microscopic imaging is available.

Equipment and Technology:

• Confocal microscopy: laser scanning and spinning disk
• TIRF imaging, FRAP, FRET and FLIM measurements
• Light sheet microscopy: high resolution 4D mesoscopic imaging
• Motorized semi-automated histology microscopy
• Multiphoton microscopy: imaging deep into thick samples
• Optical Projection Tomography: 3D imaging of large samples up to cm size
• Correlative light and electron microscopy with EM core
• Open access for all microscopes and instruments after the user training (organized by request).

SERVICES :

• Multicolor widefield and confocal imaging of fixed specimens
• Time lapse imaging of living cells, organs, cysts, tubes, embryos...
• Top stage incubators with temp, CO2 and O2 controlled environment
• Protein dynamics in 3D environments and planar surfaces
• Image analysis; renderings, reconstructions, measurements, trackings...
