The IntraVital Microscopy Facility of Stockholm University

IVMSU is a national infrastructure for two-photon microscopy that supports intravital and non-linear light microscopy with open access to national and international users.

IVMSU is integrated into the new Experimental Core Facility for in vivo studies (ECF) and has capabilities to image a unique and broad range of living and non-living samples, operates under BSL2 standard that enables infection studies and offers technologies for long term experiments over multiple imaging sessions.

IVMSU is one of the five nodes of the National Microscopy Infrastructure of Sweden (NMI), a VR-supported consortium of collaborative infrastructures for advanced imaging.

Available techniques:

Live and intravital imaging
Second/Third Harmonic Generation
Autofluorescence 2P measurements
Time-correlated single photon measurements (FLIM, FLIM/FRET)
Microspectroscopy (lambda/Lambda scan)
Calcium imaging
Fluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching
Photoactivation/Photostimulation
CLARITY imaging

Sample spectrum:

In vivo and in vitro studies on cells, tissues, organs
(Bio) material

Imaging Facility at Stockholm University

IFSU is a Core Facility for light- and electron-microscopy at Stockholm University.

Euro-Bioimaging

Euro-BioImaging is the European landmark research infrastructure for biological and biomedical imaging as recognised by the European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI).

European Light Microscopy Initiative (ELMI)

ELMI was created in 2001 to establish a unique communication network between European scientists working in the field of light microscopy and the manufacturers of their equipment.

National Microscopy Infrastructure (NMI)

NMI is the Swedish infrastructure for advanced microscopy in life science, and is supported by the Swedish Research Council and co-financed by the participating Universities.
