Imaging Facility

Our Imaging Facility supports scientists from both of the institute’s locations, Seewiesen and Martinsried. We help design experiments including the choice of fluorophores, clearing method, image modality and possible processing and analysis pipeline. We provide theoretical and practical trainings to students and postdocs. Furthermore, we assist in designing and purchasing commercially-available microscopes as well building complex prototypes and optical setups ranging from multi-photon microscopes to behavioral arenas.

Other optical devices

We also have a digital spectrometer for testing the absorption and emission spectra of fluorescent dyes, cleaning equipment for optics, an infrared viewer, a digital refractometer to measure the refractive index of fluids, and a variety of power meter and sensors. Feel free to reach out to us to borrow these devices!
