People - Steve Ogg, Sohail Ahmed, Srivats Hariharan and Yu Hong Li are involved in running the IMU.

Microscopes - Broadly speaking, these systems can be divided into groups according to application.

1. Standard Imaging: widefield fluorescence & laser scanning confocal imaging, usually of fixed samples.
2. 3D Imaging: using optical sectioning techniques
3. F-techniques: FRAP, FRET, FLIM, FCS, Fotoactivation, TIRF, etc.
4. High Content Imaging: Image based screening, multi-parametric analysis.
5. Live Cell Imaging: Time lapse fluorescence microscopy optimised for live cells.
6. Tissue Culture: Microscopes in each tissue culture suite for viewing cells while growing.

Training Resources - pdf files of basic microscopy information, pitfalls, fluuorescence imaging, and data treatment are available.

Offline Workstations - Computer resources to help you turn your image data into information that will support your hypotheses.

Software - Links to imaging software donwloads and information.

Network Authentication/Datastorage - IMU computers are available using a single set of credentials (i.e. username and password). Information on how to Access this shared drive.

Image Database - Organise all your images, regardless of file type.

Slide Scanner - The Hasselblad Flextight X5, located on level 6 in the Northeast ofice area, room 6.37 can be used to scan large areas (e.g. an entire histological section) of a slide at high resolution.

Room 6.18A
