Overview<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Mesoscopic Imaging Facility at EMBL Barcelona was established to advance imaging techniques specialized in studying tissue biology. Located within the Barcelona Biomedical Research Park (PRBB), alongside EMBL Barcelona\u2019s independent research groups, our facility provides cutting-edge mesoscopic imaging technologies tailored for research in developmental biology and disease modeling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are an interdisciplinary, international team with expertise in biology, engineering, and physics, dedicated to offering state-of-the-art imaging capabilities to scientists worldwide. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our facility plays a key role in supporting fundamental research<\/strong> by enabling high-resolution, large-scale imaging of complex biological systems. We provide advanced microscopy solutions for studying dynamic processes in living tissues, such as embryonic development, organogenesis, and cellular interactions in three-dimensional environments. With expertise in imaging large and delicate specimens, we assist researchers in designing optimal imaging workflows, from sample preparation to data acquisition and analysis, ensuring that they can capture biological phenomena with unprecedented clarity and precision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond fundamental research, we are actively exploring new applications that extend the impact of mesoscopic imaging into clinical and translational fields. Our facility is at the forefront of 3D histopathology<\/strong>, developing light-sheet microscopy approaches that enable high-resolution, volumetric imaging of tissue samples without sectioning\u2014offering a powerful alternative to conventional histological methods. Additionally, we are pioneering live organoid imaging<\/strong>, providing researchers with dynamic insights into cellular behavior, tissue organization, and disease progression in physiologically relevant models. By bridging the gap between advanced microscopy and biomedical applications, we aim to empower hospitals, clinicians, and researchers with novel imaging solutions that can revolutionize fundamental, diagnostics and therapeutic research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
