The Biosciences Imaging Centre provides training and assistance in Brightfield, Fluorescence, Confocal, Transmission and Scanning Electron Microscopy. The Biosciences Imaging‌ Centre is a unique and important resource for members of the scientific community as they approach a variety of research problems that call for Microscopy techniques.

On-campus researchers have access to the centre, and investigators from other third level institutes and the private sector are also welcomed. The Biosciences Imaging Centre has the capacity to undertake a limited amount of work, as well as offering assistance or advice in the following areas:

• Brightfield Microscopy - including DIC and Phase Contrast imaging.
• Flurorescence Microscopy - including time lapse imaging.
• Confocal Microscopy including laser scanning and two photon imaging.
• Transmission Electron Microscopy.
• Scanning Electron Microscop.y
• Brightfield, Fluorescence, Confocal , TEM and SEM sample preparation
• Negative staining.
• Specimen coating.
• Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (EDX).
• Elemental analysis.
• Immunocytochemistry in conjunction with  Fluorescence, Confocal  and Electron Microscopy.
• Imaging techniques.
• 3D and 4D Imaging Analysis.
• Morphometry and Stereology.

Services provided by the Biosciences Imaging Centre staff can be tailored to the needs of the investigator. The examination of a broad range of specimens from cultured cells to polymers, and from nanoparticles to botanical samples can be carried out in the Biosciences Imaging Centre.
