Facilities

We aim to combine and harness cutting-edge imaging technologies in super-resolution microscopy, electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy to address key biological questions.

With significant investment from the University of Sheffield and external funders (£7M), our facilities are unique for their combination of microscopy capabilities.

Our open access facilities are equipped with the following:

Cryo-electron microscope (Tecnai Arctica, FEI)
N STORM (Nikon)
OMX SIM (GE Healthcare)
Bespoke optical microscopes
Atomic force microscopes (JPK, Bruker, Asylum Research) including combined AFM/inverted optical microscope systems

We offer training in the use of all our systems.
