Advanced Microscopy
We're here to support your research with our advanced microscopy expertise.
It is our mission to facilitate science and provide access to know-how and measurement time on state-of-the-art microscopes. We have ample devices available, including numerous confocal microscopes and super-resolution systems, slide scanners, high content screening, and 3D whole organ imaging (e.g. light sheet microscopes) as well as transmission and scanning electron microscopes, light and electron microscopy-combined systems and block face scanning electron microscopy solutions. We take pride in our support for image analysis both with infrastructure and expertise.
VIB Bioimaging Core
The VIB Bioimaging Core in Leuven supports imaging from in vitro to in vivo, from the meso to the Ångström scale, and from morphology to mechanism. They have ample solutions available, including confocal microscopes, slide scanning, high content screening, and 3D whole organ imaging.
