Open access to cutting-edge electron and light microscopy
We provide researchers from Europe and beyond with a synergistic portfolio of imaging services including cryo-EM, super-resolution and intravital microscopy to enable new ground-breaking research that crosses the scales of biology.
Marie Sorin and Bina Kumari Singh of the Carlson Lab at University of Umeå in Sweden, spent one week at the EMBL IC performing cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) to study the replication process of enteroviruses, a group of viruses that includes poliovirus, coxsackievirus, and rhinovirus. This…
2023 was for us, the EMBL Imaging Centre (IC) team, a year of growth and expanding our services to the user community. Let’s take a look at some of the highlights from the year.
Studying macromolecular complexes in their native environment within a cell has always been a challenge for scientists. However, with the advancements in technology and new methods, researchers are now able to delve into the ultrastructure of molecules, even in thicker samples, and study them in…
Opening of registrations for the Summer school on cryo-FIB milling and in situ cryo-electron tomography (17 -20 June 2024)
Visualising Life – Interdisciplinary Approaches to Biology The EMBL Imaging Centre has just finished hosting the 2023 edition of the Summer School with focus on Visualising Life. The two-week programme was aimed to introduce a selected group of undergraduate students, who have a non-biology…
Now that we have successfully completed our first year, let's take a look back…
We are happy to welcome in our team Tzu-Lun Wang as Engineer in advanced optical/light microscopy and Nazli Celik as Administrator.
Second undergrad course about basics of volume electron microscopy.
To promote access to correlative technologies iNEXT-Discovery has now opened a dedicated “CLEM and ET call for proposals”.
