Tampere Imaging Facility (TIF) - light microscopy core services

The light microscopy facility offers state-of-the-art equipment for mesoscopic and high resolution bioimaging of tissues, small model organisms, biomaterials, tissue engineering products and advanced cell cultures both in 2D and 3D thus offering services for both life scientists and biomedical engineers.

Tampere Imaging Facility (TIF) is a light microscopy core unit located in the Arvo building on the Kauppi campus of the Tampere University. It offers state-of-the-art imaging solutions for life and material scientists. Facility includes several microscope systems for bioimaging of living and fixed specimens: spinning disk and laser scanning confocal microscopes, super-resolution structured illumination microscope, and widefield microscopes. In addition to the fluorescent microsopes, there are data processing and analysis stations available with deconvolution, visualization and image quantification possibilities.

Light microscopy core facility provides training for users, organizes imaging related courses and actively participates teaching at the Tampere University. Users have the possibility to plan and conduct the experiments and data analysis together with the core personnel.
