Cell Imaging

The Cell Imaging Unit (UIC) provides cutting-edge technical support on high-end equipment, by giving regular workshops on imaging and flow cytometry. It has been also an incubator for general institute projects, e.g., the equipment reservation system, webpage design, software for events management and some web modules for other services.

The unit currently stands as an international reference laboratory for confocal and multi-photon microscopy, as well as for high-throughput cell sorting. We currently run two high-throughput cell sorters (MoFlo and FacsAria), two digital high-end light/fluorescence acquisition systems (Leica optics with Roper/ Hamamatsu high end CCD’s), three confocal microscopes (Leica SP5 with double/resonant scanhead, Zeiss LSM510/Meta and Bio-Rad MRC1024) two of which with multi-photon imaging capability (Zeiss and Bio-Rad, with Coherent Mira-Verdi laser system) and various other ancillary systems.
