Microscopy

Project

Structural Glycobiology

Complex carbohydrate molecules are essential for life. These diverse structures are found on every human cell and participate in a huge range of structural and signalling functions within cells, and between cells and the extracellular matrix.

Project

Electron Detector Development

Atomic resolution imaging with electrons causes sample damage. The information per unit of damage is dependent on sample thickness and beam energy.

Platform

Stimulated Emission Depletion Microscopy (STED)

We are from investigating how cells communicate with one another, to understand more complex structures such as those found in organoid and tissue formation.

Technology Innovation Challenge

Multidimensional Imaging

Our aim: To develop new technologies to see the molecules of life and their dynamics with unprecedented detail.
