IRR Imaging Facility

The IRR Imaging Facility is open to all researchers. We help people design their experiment, guide them to an appropriate microscope, and advise them on image analysis. Our facility has a wide range of instruments designed to image objects at many scales, from macroscopy to super-resolution (SIM and TIRF). We cater for classic microscopy, fluorescence (brightness and lifetime), as well as label-free microscopy (ptychography, holotomography). Almost all our microscopes can image live samples.
