Bioimaging
Bioimaging
It is our mission to facilitate science and provide access to know-how and measurement time on state-of-the-art microscopes. We have ample devices available, including numerous confocal microscopes and super-resolution systems, slide scanners, high content screening, and 3D whole organ imaging (e.g. light sheet microscopes) as well as transmission and scanning electron microscopes, light and electron microscopy-combined systems and block face scanning electron microscopy solutions. We take pride in our support for image analysis both with infrastructure and expertise.
The VIB Bioimaging Core Leuven is headed by Pablo Hernández Varas (pablo.hernandezvaras@vib.be).
VIB Bioimaging Core
The VIB Bioimaging Core in Leuven supports imaging from in vitro to in vivo, from the meso to the Ångström scale, and from morphology to mechanism. They have ample solutions available, including confocal microscopes, slide scanning, high content screening, and 3D whole organ imaging.
Let's show you around!
Get to know some of the incredible tools and people driving the Bioimaging Core through this vlog with Pablo Hernández Varas, head of the VIB Bioimaging Core Leuven. (Find out more about Pablo, his career path and what lead him to joining VIB in the blog post below!)
