Light Microscopy Facility
Services we offer:
The Light Microscopy Facility offers a collection of state-of-the-art light microscopy equipment. We provide training and full technical support for all the instruments along with assistance in designing imaging experiments and data processing.
The facility currently comprises twenty different systems ranging from high resolution confocals to simple fluorescent video microscopes. Sophisticated image processing can be accomplished on high-end graphics machines.
For a detailed description of our equipment please visit the light microscopy link on the following page [1]

How to choose an instrument
All users are asked to contact us first and to describe the imaging project planned. Considering this information one of us will propose suitable systems.
In order to help users finding the microscope setup and data analysis approach which best fits their needs, the the Biopolis Dresden Imaging Platform (BioDIP) operates as a resource and information sharing cooperation between the BIOTEC, the light and electron microscopy facilities at the MPI-CBG and the Medical Theoretical Center (MTZ).
