There are several shared imaging facilities in the Oslo region that have optical microscopes and microscopy experts. While there is some overlap in instruments, each facility has its own specific equipment. This page is intended to provide end users with a quick overview of what is available and how to contact the different imaging facilities.
We have two Elegoo high precision resin printer Saturn3 and Mars5. They are capable of printing small parts for equipment, nanofabrication, or microfluidic channels.
The Abberior Facility Line FLIM STED microscope is an advanced imaging system that combines point scanning confocal microscopy with super-resolution and fluorescence lifetime imaging capabilities.
Here are some highlights of images captured with our microscopes and photos from our events.
The NorMIC series of workshops aims at teach biological researchers (PhD students, engineers, postdocs, and young PIs) the principles of biological microscopes and image processing.
Licensed software available, Imaris and Huygens.
This confocal microscope is set up for live cell imaging and FRAP experiements.
The microsope is a point-scanning confocal set up for live imaging.
This is a software module that is used for studying functionality, visualization, segmentation and interpretation of 3D and 4D microscopy datasets
ImageJ is a public domain, Java-based image processing program and design with an open architechecture that provides extensibility via ecordabler marcos and Java plugins.
This microscope is a set up for live cell imaging and fixed samples.
The Andor Revolution microscope is a spinning disc system is an ideal platform for high speed live imaging.
This microscope is set up for live cell imaging and uses the property of total internal reflection (TIRF) to illuminate fluorophores close to the glass coverslip where the sample is mounted.
The BX81WI is an upright microscope for fixed cells and physiological experiments.
This is a microscope set up for live imaging with a fully motorized xy stage for multi-position, tile scan and z Piezo for fast 3D stacks.
The Norwegian Molecular Imaging Consortium (NorMIC) core facility at the Institute of Biosciences (IBV) focuses on fluorescence imaging of live and fixed samples. The core facility can offer a selection of imaging techniques to strengthen and support the community of Life Science in Oslo and Norway.
The EM-lab at the Department of Biosciences is part of the core facility Life Science Electron Microscopy Consortium (LSEMC). The other LSEMC node, the Electron Microscopy Laboratory, is located at the Institute of Basic Medical Sciences.
