The aim of the Imaging and Microscopy facility is to offer both technical support and innovation in imaging technology to the scientific community in academia and in industry.
The facility includes state of the art light microscopy instrumentation, ranging from slide scanner, and confocal laser scanning and light-sheet microscopy to advanced software for image analysis.
The availability of cutting-edge tools such as X-clarity, custom light-sheet systems for whole brain acquisition and 4D post-processing software, together offer to neuroscientist unique opportunities to explore uncovered boundaries.
Equipment:
Widefield Microscopy
Leica DM4000B
