Facility
Multiscale Immunoimaging
The Multiscale Immunoimaging Unit provides access to state-of-art light microscopy for scientists within and outside the institute, and performs independent and collaborative research for the development of advanced imaging-based technology.
The Unit of Multiscale Immunoimaging comprises a wide range of microscopes for live or fixed samples, including in vivo optical imaging instruments for luminescence and fluorescence tomography. High-capacity network of digital workstations is also available for the processing and analysis of imaging data.
The staff is involved in a wide range of scientific collaborations to support users in their studies in different fields of research, such as Oncology, Immunology, Neuroscience and Cardiology. The staff is also focused to the development of new methodologies and techniques aimed at significantly enhance bioimaging research.
