Light Microscopy Research Network at Bath

The light microscopy network at Bath provides its users with advanced level confocal and fluorescent microscopes as well as training and advice.

Our network harbours a strong, multidisciplinary light microscopy community, spread over various locations, departments and institutes on-campus. The main microscopes are located in the core BioImaging and Cell Analysis Unit within the Material and Chemical Characterisation (MC²) Facility and the Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy section within the Centre for Therapeutic Innovation (CTI-Bath). Smaller hubs exist in several research labs, specialising in specific modalities.
