Imaging Facility

Making aging visible at all stages

Over the last two years, we have improved our techniques in superresolution and its live-cell compatibility in light microscopy. In electron microscopy, we went for tomography and serial sectioning to move further to volume imaging. We combine both expertise of our platform in correlative approaches (CLEM and Super-CLEM) 


We are supporting our researchers during the entire process of their light and electron microscopy projects, starting with a project discussion and experiment design. We also help our users in image analysis and image data management (with OMERO as dedicated imaging data platform).
