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.
For live-cell and time-lapse imaging we offer a wide range of technologies crossing the scales of biology including confocal, light-sheet and widefield microscopes.
STELLARIS 8 STED with TauSTED from Leica Microsystems allows the study of multiple dynamic events simultaneously and investigation of molecular relationships and mechanisms within the cellular context.
FALCON (FAst Lifetime CONtrast) includes phasors for quantitative FLIM analysis. It is a fully integrated solution for fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) and enables video-rate image acquisition for rapid kinetic studies in live cells.

Mica from Leica Microsystems is a highly automated microscope that unites widefield and confocal imaging. The user interface automates sample-finding, parameter setting and image focus, reducing imaging time. Through intelligent automation, all opto-digital components are fully motorized and automated, reducing the number of setup steps needed to generate images. The Mica has full environmental control capabilities.

THUNDER is an opto-digital technology from Leica Microsystems that uses the Computational Clearing method for haze removal to generate high-resolution and high-contrast images.
A THUNDER Imager Live Cell provides a complete microscopy imaging system for minimally invasive and precise live-cell imaging. High-speed and/or long term examination of specimens, e.g. cell cultures and organoids, can be performed at low phototoxicity and photobleaching.

THUNDER Imager Live Cell is part of the Coral Life live cell CLEM workflow consisting of the THUNDER Imager Live Cell, the EM ICE high pressure freezer and the EM AFS2 for automatic freeze substitution.
DMi8 S from Leica Microsystems is a live cell imaging system to execute advanced experiments with imaging modalities like TIRF. For dynamic processes at the cell surface TIRF (Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence) microscopy is the method of choice to visualise single molecules with super-resolution by maximising the fluorescent signal- to-noise-ratio.
