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.
We offer a powerful and synergistic portfolio of imaging technologies both individually and in a combined (correlative) fashion, to enable new ground-breaking research that crosses the scales of biology. We support you from sample preparation to image analysis.
Light microscopy (LM) services include the latest super-resolution and cryo-super-resolution methods to high-speed, high-resolution live-cell, intravital, and deep tissue imaging — with a focus on non-commercial, academically developed technologies.
Electron microscopy (EM) services include single-particle cryo-electron microscopy and cryo-tomography to (cryo-)CLEM as well as cellular or tissue volume electron microscopy.
Correlative services (CLEM): At the moment we offer direct correlation between confocal fluorescence imaging and cellular cryo-tomography, all under continuous cryogenic conditions. Our ultimate goal is to offer as many individual microscopy technologies in a correlative manner and as integrated service as possible and a major focus of our research is workflow developments towards that ambitious goal.
Please contact us with any question you might have. We are looking forward to getting to know you and your questions.

We are working in close collaboration with EMBL’s core facilities and services across sites.
If the Imaging Centre does not have the matching services for your project, we will support your needs jointly with our colleagues from the other facilities.
Contact us anyways, our user management will guide you.
The IC is actively involved in research related to cryo-light microscopy. We are in particular supporting the development of cryo-super-resolution imaging and related workflows.
