With the move into the new TRF building last November, the microscopy facility MMI-MHTP became integrated into the
MHTP Technologies Platforms network. This facility has the
opportunity to expand and acquire new systems and techniques.
New equipment
includes a confocal microscope (Olympus FV1200), a stereology system (Olympus
and Visiopharm) and two multi-well-plate imaging systems. An upgrade of the
Nikon C1 confocal microscope expands its capabilities to serve as an automated
imaging platform for slide scanning if required. On the image analysis side we
have successfully acquired programming capabilities to customize and automate
image analysis pipelines.
In 2015, super-resolution microscopy was
established as a new capability in MMI and has already resulted in several
publications in prestigious journals. A second leading-edge technique, light
sheet microscopy, is currently being implemented. Both techniques are currently
available at MMI Clayton Campus to researchers at the Hudson Institute and will
be set up at the MMI-MHTP node in the near future as well.
