NORWAY
Node Candidate Name: NorMIC Oslo - Advanced Light Microscopy Node Oslo
The Norwegian advanced light microscopy Node Candidate is based on two imaging facilities, one at the University Hospital, Montebello, Oslo and one at the Department of Biosciences, Oslo University at Blindern, Oslo. Main research areas are kinetics of intracellular vesicle traffic, fusion, fission, cell division, cell migration and immune cell interactions in addition to imaging of fixed samples.
Specialties and expertise of the Node Candidate
The platform has a focus on live imaging of tissue culture and most light microscopy units are equipped with incubators for stable temperature and CO2. The unit offers expertise and technical assistance in a range of advanced light microscopes including confocal laser scanning instruments, spinning disc confocal, TIRF, as well as access to immuno-EM techniques.
