Imaging Center
The Imaging Center offers training, support, and advice concerning image acquisition, experimental design, and data analysis, and collaborates with investigators to develop novel imaging approaches and techniques.
The Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience (MPFI) Imaging Center provides investigators with access to cutting-edge imaging technologies and expertise in the fields of electron microscopy, confocal, two-photon and super-resolution microscopy, to achieve tasks from ultrastructural visualization to subcellular imaging of live tissue.
General Services
High-resolution imaging is essential to neuroscience, but keeping pace with new technologies, equipment, and methods is a challenge for individual labs. The Imaging Center at MPFI addresses this by providing access to state-of-the-art electron and light microscopy, alongside deep scientific expertise. They offer training, sample preparation support, microscopy technical assistance, and help with experimental design and data analysis. In collaboration with researchers, MPFI's Imaging Center is also developing novel imaging techniques to push the field forward. The Imaging Center works with both MPFI scientists and outside collaborators.
