Our instruments
We specialise in capturing and analysing multidimensional images, ranging from the subcellular to whole organism level.
The Centre operates commercial and pre-commercial imaging equipment.
Zeiss LSM 980 with Airyscan 2 microscope
A next generation confocal for fast and gentle 4D imaging.
The Nikon N-STORM 5.0 in the Centre for Dynamic Imaging
A super-resolution fluorescence microscope that localises single molecules in three dimensions to achieve resolutions roughly ten times better than conventional techniques.
The Bruker Skyscan 1276 Micro-CT in the Centre for Dynamic Imaging
A high-resolution desktop in vivo micro-CT system with fast InstaRecon® 3D reconstruction software for preclinical imaging.
Leica SP8 Resonant Scanning Confocal microscope
The Leica SP8 is a high speed, high resolution microscope for investigating dynamic processes in living cells.
The Zeiss Axio Observer is a flexible inverted microscope that allows scientists to view a range of samples under a variety of conditions.
The Institute's lattice light sheet microscope in the Centre for Dynamic Imaging
Lattice light sheet microscopy is the current state of the art for live cell imaging, enabling unprecedented 4D imaging capabilities.
The Zeiss Lightsheet Z.1 microscope at the Centre for Dynamic Imaging
The Zeiss Lightsheet Z.1 microscope offers scientists the opportunity to image large 3D objects that would be impossible or far too time consuming to analyse on traditional microscopes.
The Zeiss LSM 780 microscope at the Institute
The Zeiss LSM 780 is a high resolution laser scanning confocal microscope for producing three-dimensional (3D) data from single cells to large tissue sections.
A Zeiss LSM 880 microscope at the Institute
A high speed, high resolution microscope for investigating dynamic processes in living cells.
A Zeiss LSM 880 microscope at the Institute
A multifunctional system suited for studying diseases in their host environment.
The Olympus FVMPE-RS at the Institute
The Olympus FVMPE-RS allows both rapid and deep image acquisition, giving scientists great potential for imaging samples that would be impossible to examine on traditional microscopes.
The IVIS Spectrum microscope at the Institute
The IVIS Spectrum offers scientists the ability to image preclinical models in a non-invasive way in order to monitor disease progression.
The DeltaVision OMX SR microscope and monitors at the Institute
The OMX SR is a microscope for imaging live cells using structured illumination microscopy (SIM). The microscope can rapidly capture very high resolution multicolour images in three dimensions.
The Deltavision Elite microscope at the Institute
The Applied Precision (GE) DeltaVision Elite is a widefield microscope designed to take advantage of in-built widefield deconvolution algorithms.
Areas between vessels in the retina can be used as a descriptor of retinal abnormality. Randomized colours are often used as a quick way to check the accuracy of the segmentation. Credit: Leigh Coultas, Lachlan Whitehead
The Centre provides access to a wide range of data visualisation and analysis tools, and powerful computational resources.
The Zeiss Axio Observer microscope at the Institute
The Ziess live cell Axio Observer is an inverted modular microscope that allows for flexible and automated experimental design and is suitable for live cell imaging.
