Center for Cell Imaging
The Center for Cell Imaging (CCI) provides advanced light microscopy methodology at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine. We specialise in digital imaging of diverse biological samples and supply equipment and expertise in histology specimen analyses as well as high-end fluorescence microscopy.
Equipment
Wet-lab optimised for immunolabeling procedures (Leica S6D preparation microscope and laminar flow safety cabinet for handling cells, FDM 3D printer, sheet plotter/cutter).

Services
The CCI allows preparation of biological samples in our wet-lab and has the expertise to efficiently extract high content image data within a ML-II biosafety environment. Our facility provides detailed knowledge on high-end fluorescence microscopy applications and analyses. Different modi of imaging are available such as wide field imaging, confocal microscopy, TIRF microscopy, live cell microscopy, (intravital) multiphoton microscopy and superresolution microscopy (by single molecule light microscopy (SMLM)) or by applying Expansion Microscopy (ExM)).
Access
Users are instructed by CCI staff before access is granted and online reservation is implemented.
