EMBL Imaging Centre

Open access to cutting-edge electron and light microscopy

We provide researchers from Europe and beyond with a synergistic portfolio of imaging services including cryo-EM, super-resolution and intravital microscopy to enable new ground-breaking research that crosses the scales of biology.

Light Microscopy Services

Our light microscopy technologies cover all scales from the latest super-resolution technologies to high-speed and high resolution live-cell, as well as intravital and deep tissue imaging, with a focus on non-commercial, academically developed technologies.

Super-resolution imaging

Technologies include STED, STORM/PALM and MINFLUX that enable imaging of fixed and living cells below the diffraction limit of light.
