Resources & tools

For information on how to submit a project to the facility and get access to the latest technology for high-resolution fixed-cell and live-cell imaging, please write to  Prof Viji Draviam and Dr Chengchen Wu

Access to Elyra funded by QMUL and BBSRCDNA expression patterns, Leitch

For information on access to the Elyra please write to Prof Viji Draviam and Dr Chengchen Wu.

All projects (preliminary data) are reviewed to assess feasibility using non-SRM or non-deconvolution microscopes; UKRI funded projects are costed 30 GBP/hr while others are costed 45 GBP/hr. 

Access to Lattice Lightsheet 7 (LLS7) funded by QMUL and MRC

The LLS7 allows gentle and long-term high-resolution 3D-imaging of live samples from single cells to embryos.  For information on access to the LLS7 please contact Prof Viji Draviam and Dr Chengchen Wu.

All projects (preliminary data) are reviewed to assess feasibility using non-SRM or non-deconvolution microscopes; UKRI funded projects are costed 30GBP/hr while others are costed 45 GBP/hr. Experiments run for longer than 6hrs (irrespective of funders) are costed at 10 GBP/hr.

Data Visualization, Processing, and Analysis

We have data analysis training course (45GBP/hr), and access to several automated and automated and semi-automated image analysis softwares(Zeiss Arivis Pro, ZEN blue, SpinX, MultiSpinX, etc.). We also have access to SIM-FRAP (photokinetics in the super-resolution regime) and photodissociation setups and custom-build methods for measuring FRAP recovery rates. For more information, please contact Prof Viji Draviam and Dr Chengchen Wu.
