Short Description

Optical microscopy has historically played an important role in life-science discovery. Advances in imaging technology are rapidly expanding the boundaries of what is possible, allowing for studies of live cells with unprecedented spatio-temporal resolution and the extraction of diverse biophysical parameters intrinsic to the processes of life.

The Advanced Microscopy Facility offers a range of cutting-edge, novel and custom optical microscopy techniques, along with associated expertise and assistance, for life science researchers.
