Microscopic Imaging – Department of Cell Biology Radboudumc

The Microscopic Imaging Centre (MIC) is specialized in live imaging of tumor and immune cell dynamics by brightfield, fluorescence, fluorescence lifetime, (high content) confocal and multiphoton microscopy. These techniques enables us to image biological processes such as 3D cellular migration in real-time at the subcellular level. Our intravital microscopy platform is integrated within the Preclinical Imaging Centre (PRIME), bridging high-resolution intravital microscopy with state-of-the-art preclinical imaging modalities. Furthermore, infrared multiphoton excitation enables deep tissue penetration, efficient excitation of red fluorescent proteins and label free visualization of tissue matrix structures by Second and Third Harmonic Generation microscopy. The MIC is directed by Prof. dr. Peter Friedl and organized by facility manager Dr. Jack Fransen. This group participates in NL-BioImaging AM (http://www.eurobioimaging.nl).
