Microscopy

We have a wide selection of microscopes available suitable for work with live or fixed cells, tissue slices and materials samples.

As well as standard light microscopy we can offer confocal, TIRF, superresolution and many other techniques. Users can choose to be trained on equipment or have their samples run as a service. We offer full support in image analysis and interpretation.
