Imaging
We have a range of light microscopes within our core facility based on the St James's University Hospital campus providing high resolution, fluorescence, high throughput-high content and live cell imaging monitoring capabilities. The facility currently houses 7 light imaging systems and is constantly looking to resource new technologies that can help to improve our understanding of cell biology.
Our imaging systems are broken down into four categories based on their outputs:
- Laser Scanning Confocal Microscopy - High resolution fluorescent analysis assessment and cellular functional dynamic measurement outputs.
- Widefield fluorescence Microscopy - Fluorescent and chromophore assessment, phase contrast and polarized light assessment of biological structures.
- Live Cell Imaging Systems - Phase and fluorescence assessment of dynamic cellular processes.
- High throughput-High Content Microscopy - High throughput phase and fluorescence assessment of cellular 2D plate based arrays and bioscreening.
- Fluorescence, Absorbance and Luminescence Imaging - Imaging plate reader with fluorescence, abosbance and luminescence outputs with treatment injection capabilities.
