Microscopes are instruments designed to produce magnified visual or photographic images of objects too small to be seen with the naked eye. The microscope must accomplish three tasks: produce a magnified image of the specimen, separate the details in the image, and render the details visible to the human eye or camera.

Light Microscopy Techniques include:

• Live cell imaging, Fluorescence microscopy, Wide Field microscopy
• Confocal laser scanning microscopy, Spinning disc microscopy
• Cellular phenotyping, High-content imaging
• Non-linear, multi-photon imaging, CARS Raman-Imaging

Please contact CTPN if you are interested in developing a research plan/grant proposal/business case which involves imaging techniques. We will put you in contact with the relevant researchers & core platforms to discuss and support your ideas.
