The Aarhus University Bioimaging Core Facility at the Department of Biomedicine provides open access to a range of microscopes, software, support and services.

The core facility supports imaging needs from intra-vital imaging (Multiphoton) and whole-organ imaging (SPIM) to tissue sections and live-cell imaging (scanning and spinning disc confocals, widefield systems), down to superresolved subcellular localisation (Airyscan, PALM/STORM or DNA-PAINT on TIRF microscope). In addition, a new Centre for Serial Intravital Imaging associated with the Bioimaging Core Facility is currently being established, expanding expertise and support for advanced in vivoimaging workflows.

With the rapid developments in 4D imaging, image analysis and data management have become more complex. One major focus of the facility is therefore to support our users with image analysis options tailored to their specific needs, either through support withfreeware (Fiji, Ilastik, Omero server) or access to and support with commercial software (Arivis, Imaris, ScanR, Zen, Cellsense), to facilitate image processing and quantitative image analysis.

Our staff services range from thorough training on all our instruments for both beginners and experienced users to establishing new imaging and analysis protocols. We also provide customised courses or tutorials and the possibility to book time with experts for consultations or on-demand services.
