The CRUK Cambridge Institute's (CRUK CI) scientific Core Facilities perform a fundamental role at the heart of our research community. They are a repository for deep knowledge and expertise in scientific technologies and techniques and work in partnership with the Institute's research groups in answering biological questions related to cancer.
The Light Microscopy Core Facility provides expertise, training, and instrumentation across a wide range of research projects. We support 5000 hours of yearly microscope usage for our 200 researchers at the CRUK CI and the wider community. The supported technologies include Confocal, High Content, Light Sheet, STED Super-resolution and Widefield Microscopy as well as a wide range of image analysis.
