Glasgow Imaging Facility (GIF)
GIF has imaging technologies that cover whole body imaging, conventional wide-field, confocal and multi-photon microscopy, to high-resolution approaches breaking the resolution limit of light. Techniques available are Spinning Disk Confocal, Multiphoton, High Content InCell, Super-Resolution (3D-SIM and STORM), wide-field deconvolution (DV-Core and Leica DMi8), In Vivo systems (IVIS), TEM and the imaging flow cytometer ImageStream. Explore some of the systems and resources they offer users below, and be sure to check out their website for full details and the most up-to-date information.
