The Imaging Core Facility (ICF) provides access and training to the imaging instruments in the GSH, currently including a small animal 7T MRI (Bruker), spinning disc confocal microscope (CQ1, Yokogawa), confocal microscope (SP5, Leica), fluorescent/light microscopes (AxioImager, Zeiss), light sheet microscope (UltraMicroscope Blaze, Miltenyi), in vivo imaging system (IVIS SpectrumCT, Revvity) as well as image processing stations (CQ1 off-line image analysis and CellPathFinder, Imaris Sticher and Imaris image processing software package, Living Image software +3D module).

Responsible for the training, coordination and maintenance is Dominic Menger. He is your contact person for all questions related to the imaging equipment, as well as advice on the experimental set up, development of new analytical pipelines and general enquiries related to imaging. At the MRI, Dominic Menger is supported by Marco Lolies who is taking care of routine measurements for internal and external users. IVIS SpectrumCT is jointly maintained with Margareta Kolaric‎.
