The IBPM imaging platform is a Nikon Microscopy Reference Center for Central-Southern Italy and a node of the Italian National imaging infrastructure within the project “IMPARA – Imaging from molecules to the preclinics”
http://www.ponricerca.gov.it/comunicazione/esempi-di-progetto/potenziamento-infrastrutture-di-ricerca/impara-imaging-dalle-molecole-alla-preclinica/
The platform hosts wide-field light microscopy equipment for high-resolution analyses and a last-generation spinning disk confocal microscope, both equipped for live viderecording experiments; it also hosts an up-right fluorescence microscope delivering crisp, clean and true-to-life images of fixed fluorescent cell samples, and two workstations with advanced software for image acquisition and analysis.
Imaging capabilities include: time-lapse recording of live cells under viable conditions over several days; high-resolution visualization of subcellular structures and intracellular molecular interactions; reconstruction of cellular and subcellular structures at 3D level, obtaining precise quantitative information on the molecules or cells that are being imaged. Imaging methods are developed in collaboration with Nikon, e.g. for automated image acquisition and analysis.
