Optical Imaging
The Institute of Molecular Biosciences houses state-of-the-art imaging infrastructure and technologies, including super-resolution stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy (STORM), total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy, confocal laser-scanning microscopy, and high-resolution light-sheet microscopy. The latter systems are equipped with modules for image-based high-throughput microscopy (high-content screening, HCS) and highly sensitive single-molecule detectors.
This infrastructure is an integral part of the BioHealth profile area at the University of Graz. It is also available to the MetAge Excellence Cluster as well as to the institute’s special research units and doctoral programs. Academic lectures and seminars on cellular and molecular imaging, as well as on modern image-processing methods, enable users to operate the equipment independently.
Scientific collaborations are welcome. Please direct inquiries to heimo.wolinski@uni-graz.at.
