UCL excels in all aspects of imaging of molecules, cells and tissues.
UCL imaging facilities
Substantial investment from the Wellcome Trust, UCL Research Platforms and other sources have provided state-of-the-art facilities, where researchers are interested in events that change in time at the organ, tissue, cell and molecular level using advanced imaging methodologies.
A searchable database of all UCL imaging (and other equipment) can be found on the UCL research Platforms website.
All cell and tissue imaging core facilities can be contacted by e-mailing microscopy@ucl.ac.uk
