Integrated Microscopy

Facility Description

Biotron’s Integrated Microscopy Facility offers a range of training and support models to ensure users achieve success with Microscopy-based projects. We support clients in an integrated model: providing consultation, training and assistance from sample preparation through to microscopy, imaging, image processing, data analysis and publication.
The facility features a variety of hardware and software platforms including light, confocal and electron microscopes, plus a full suite of current analytical software programs. Complementing this is an extensive wet lab space full of preparatory equipment, reagents and antibodies for both light and electron microscopy sample preparation. Trainees can book laboratory space to work independently, or receive full training and guidance to achieve their goals.
