The Faculty's Light Microscopy Facilities provide a wide range of cutting-edge imaging systems for advanced microscopy, including confocal, multi-photon and super-resolution modalities, enabling users to address research questions in living systems across temporal and spatial scales.
UCL-ZEISS Multiscale Imaging Centre (UZMIC)
UZMIC was created in 2019, through a combined £4M investment shared between UCL and ZEISS. This new centre enables seamless dynamic imaging across scales, from single molecule resolution to organelles, cells and tissues, and across volumes, from a single sample to high throughput analysis.

Light and Super-resolution Microscopy
The LMCB Light Microscopy Platform supports research at the LMCB and UCL by providing access to advanced light microscopy technologies and expertise in image acquisition and analysis. The UCL Super-resolution Facility (SuRF) provides access to and expertise in such techniques as super-resolution by optical reassignment (SoRa), structured illumination microscopy (SIM), stimulated emission depletion (STED) and single molecule localisation microscopy (SMLM).

High Content Biology Lab
The HCBL provides expertise and cutting-edge technology to facilitate research projects aimed at understanding fundamental processes in cell biology as well as drug discovery. Support is provided for running of high throughput, high-content, or siRNA screenings, low to medium throughput projects with assay development and equipment, and imaging assays with multiple conditions or readouts including fast response assays.
