Facility for Imaging by Light Microscopy (FILM)

Our facility uses the latest equipment in light microscopy to observe life as it happens, visualising it in still images or live films. The end products are visually impressive and of cutting-edge scientific value; and are often at the very least quite beautiful.

Whether you are a hard-core microscopist looking for the most sophisticated equipment, allowing you to push the limits of scientific imaging, or a student or life scientist who has never touched a microscope before, you will find the right tools and guidance to get the results that you need.
