Cell Imaging

The Cell Imaging Unit (UIC) provides cutting-edge technical support on high-end equipment, by giving regular workshops on imaging and flow cytometry. It has been also an incubator for general institute projects, e.g., the equipment reservation system, webpage design, software for events management and some web modules for other services.

The unit currently stands as an international reference laboratory for confocal and multi-photon microscopy, as well as for high-throughput cell sorting. We currently run :

Bio-Rad Multiphon
Leica SP5 Spectral Confocal with resonant scanner (*)
Zeiss LSM510 two photon/confocal (*)
Prairie Multiphoton microscope
Andor Spinning Disk
Deltavision
Several high-end research microscopes with EMCCDs
Imaris 3D Image analysis software (*)
FacsAria Multicolor cell sorter (*)
FacScan cell analyzer
FacScalibur cell analyzer
Cyan ADP cell analyzer
Vitor 3 luminometer
Hamamatsu luminescence detection box

which are available for reservation on http://reserve.igc.gulbenkian.pt/
