Cap de Plataforma Microscopia Òptica
The Bioimaging Platform makes advanced optical and electron microscopy equipment and techniques available to IDIBELL researchers for the performance of the maximum number of experiments requested by the various research groups. It provides technical assistance from the design stage of experiments to the analysis of the results obtained.
Services
- Support in the preparation of the sample, including the embedding and ultramicrotomy of Epon resin blocks both in cells and aggregates, as well as in tissues.
- Support in the acquisition and subsequent analysis of images.
- Proper training so that users can use the microscopes on their own during the working day.
