Microscopy Facility (FCUL-MF)
FCUL Microscopy Facility (FCUL-MF) is a research and training infrastructure for microscopy and bioimaging. FCUL-MF is also a node of the Portuguese Platform for Bioimage.
FCUL-MF functions as a service provider and technical support hub on stereo, widefield fluorescence, confocal and electron microscopy as well as high throughput microscopy. It also supports its users in assay development, image analysis and quantification techniques.
FCUL-MF provides specialized services for researchers outside FCUL and welcomes visits by schools and other educational institutions.
The FCUL-MF is composed of two subunits, located at the FCUL Campus in Campo Grande (Lisbon):
- The C2 room (2.1.15), dedicated to morphological analysis using stereo, widefield, fluorescence, confocal and electron microscopy
- the C8 rooms (8.1.71 and 8.1.79), dedicated to high throughput screening microscopy using both widefield and confocal microscopy.
FCUL-MF provides technical support to its users through the work of two technicians.
