The Imaging unit recently launched services

2021-03-16

The Imaging Unit is part of the Centre for Infections and Genomics of the Lung (CIGL) and is equipped with cutting-edge light microscopy instrumentation.

The users of the Imaging Unit can benefit from dedicated consultation for all steps of their imaging workflow (sample preparation, image acquisition and data handling and analysis). The imaging unit can provide image analysis support by establishing analysis workflows or providing algorithms developed using a number of software (e.g. ImageJ/Fiji, etc.).

On top of the daily support and individual introductions, the imaging unit can provide open workshops and courses for a variety of subjects in the field of light microscopy and image analysis. Additionally, the unit provides regular quality control checks for all instruments ensuring that the optical systems operate within specifications.
