About us
Our group provides services and support in field of advanced microscopy for employees of the IEM as well as for the external users. We secure access to the devices, routine service, training, booking system and consultations. Users can access variety of devices from basic fluorescent microscope to the cutting-edge two-photon system for in vivo studies. At this moment, we provide access to 7 microscopes and one workstation PC via our booking system and we mediate access to another 5 microscopes across the institute.
Our facility have been the member of the Czech Bioimaging project since 2023. Czech Bioimaging is the national research infrastructure for biological and medical imaging and provides an open acces for various imaging technologies. It is also the part of the larger international project Eurobioimaging. If you would like tom use our facility for your research, don't be affraid to contact us.

Acknowledgment
Thank you for acknowledging work performed in our facility. To do so, please use this format:
“Microscopy was done at the Microscopy Service Centre of the Institute of Experimental Medicine CAS supported by the MEYS CR (LM2023050 Czech-Bioimaging).”
In case the Olympus SpinSR10 microscope was used, please provide additional acknowledgement in this format:
“This work was funded by the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports of the Czech Republic (Research Infrastructure NanoEnviCZ, LM2018124) and The European Union-European Structural and Investments Funds in the frame of the Research Development and Education-project Pro-NanoEnviCz operational program (Project No. CZ.02.1.01/0.0/0.0/16_013/0001821).”
Training, Consultation, Assisted operation
We provide training for all our devices. The finished training is requirement for access to the microscopes. See more details here.
