AIF - Advanced Imaging Facility

Head: Gabriel Martins, Ph. D.

The IGC's Advanced Imaging Facility focuses on imaging of biological events at all scales, ranging from the quasi-molecular level (with STORM, SIM, SRRF, TIRF super-resolution, and CLEM [Correlative Light-Electron Microscopy] in collaboration with the Electron Microscopy Facility), to cellular (widefield and confocal) and whole organ/organism with multiphoton, light-sheet, optical tomography and macro luminescence. The AIF is the core light imaging facility of the Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciencia but also offers services to outside groups or companies. The website provides information about the instrumentation, past and ongoing projects, in addition to several educational resources from technical instrumentation aspects to protocols. The facility also offers internal workshops on image analysis and organizes international workshops on 3D imaging and Image Analysis. The facility is located in the Bartolomeu Dias wing, and inquiries concerning the facility and its services may be directed to any of the lab's staff.

The AIF is also the home of the OpenSpin microscopy and OPenT projects, which you can learn more about here:
