Imaging Centre

The Henry Wellcome Imaging Centre offers a wide spectrum of microscopy capabilities, from widefield (inc. time-lapse) and confocal to correlative TEM. The centre includes a Category 2 lab, tissue culture hood, incubators, and EM preparation equipment (inc. Leica EM TRIM, Leica Ultracut UCT, Leica EMFCS, and Biacore). The centre is ideal for immunocytochemistry or tissue and cellular biology work.

Training and support are available from Mike Hollinshead

Microscopes

1. 

   Zeiss Axiovert 200M

   Zeiss Axiovert 200M widefield fluorescence - An inverted microscope with a fully motorised stage and a large range of filter sets from UV to far-red and a highly sensitive AxioCam HRm running Axiovision. The microscope is contained within Cat. 2 laboratory conditions and is equipped with a Solent Scientific incubator to house samples. It is capable of time lapse video and phase contrast microscopy.
2. Zeiss Axiovert 200M widefield fluorescence - An inverted microscope with a fully motorised stage and a large range of filter sets from UV to far-red and a highly sensitive AxioCam HRc running Axiovision. Long-working distance objectives, suitable for samples in plastic dishes.
3. 

   FEI Technai G2

   Zeiss LSM 5 Meta confocal microscope - An inverted Zeiss LSM confocal microscope with CCD camera. The microscope is contained within Cat. 2 laboratory conditions and is equipped with a Solent Scientific incubator to house samples.
