University of Technology, Sydney : Microbial Imaging Facility

Full description

The Microbial Imaging Facility (MIF) at UTS has been established to provide:

• High-resolution imaging of microorganisms such as bacteria and parasites, and their interactions with host eukaryotic cells.
• High-resolution imaging of biological processes within larger eukaryotic cells.
• Equipment for flow cytometry and biological specimen preparation for optical and electron microscopy.

The UTS MIF is comprehensively equipped with sophisticated and state-of-the-art optical microscopes for epifluorescence, deconvolution, confocal and live-cell imaging microscopy. It is the first commercial installation site in the world for the new the DeltaVision OMX Blaze™ imaging system which incorporates an ultra-fast structured illumination module and the latest advanced high speed scientific CMOS cameras, enabling live-cell, multi-colour super-resolution 3D-SIM imaging.We are playing a pioneering role in bringing this state-of-the-art microscopy technology to Australia and are keen to foster collaborative partnerships with scientists from academic institutions and industry.
