La Trobe Bioimaging Facility

The Bioimaging Platform offers researchers access to a range of high performance confocal and widefield fluorescence microscopes. Capabilities include live imaging of cell dynamics and multichannel imaging of stained cells, 3D cultures, tissues and small organisms. Support in advanced fluorescence techniques such as FLIM, FRET, FRAP and FCS is also available for quantitative analysis of interactions and mobility of molecules in cells.
