Location: Thomas Building DE-512
We have an extensive set of microscopy instruments including widefield microscopes, incubator microscopes, a digital slide scanner, a high-content reader, a confocal microscope, a super-resolution microscope and light sheet technologies.
Our team can provide you with consultation, training, development or assisted sessions.
Having sample-related items available in our imaging core facilitates and accelerates research. We offer a selection of microscopy reagents, including dyes for live cell imaging and secondary antibodies for STED microscopy in convenient quantities.
Please inquire for our current inventory.
Nikon Eclipse E800 is an upright fixed-stage microscope, suitable for collecting 2D images (no stacks) in transmitted light and/or fluorescence mode.
DeltaVision is a versatile widefield imaging microscope with 3D deconvolution functionality.
Nikon Live is a widefield fluorescence microscope system as well as a transmitted light imaging system in DIC and phase contrast modes. The microscope is primarily used for time-lapse imaging of living samples.
Nikon TIRF/STORM is a widefield fluorescence and total internal reflection fluorescence, or TIRF, microscope with super resolution (also called N-STORM).
Incucyte (S3 and Zoom) is an incubator microscope system for long-term, live-cell imaging.
Our TissueFAXS system is an automated digital pathology system/slide scanner for the imaging of histology slides and multi-fluorescently labeled slides, including large tissue sections and tissue microarray slides.
Our Molecular Devices ImageXpress is a dedicated microscope with confocal ability for the automated imaging and analysis of samples in multi-well plate format, and it is specifically designed for high-content analysis and for image-based screening applications.
Our LaVision Ultramicroscope II light sheet system is used for 3D imaging and analysis of entire biological systems using a “sheet” of laser illumination.
