Welcome to the Bioimaging Centre
The Bioimaging Centre is a major research facility within the School of Biosciences providing both state of the art instrumentation and experienced staff to assist researchers and students in collaborative and multidisciplinary research by applying advanced cellular imaging techniques to address key questions in biology.
The Centre is run financially as a TRAC (transparent approach to costing) facility, based on a full economic costing principle, and is headed by the Director. Together with two Experimental Officers, two research technicians as well as an administrator, the Bioimaging team is actively involved in study design, research and teaching. We fully integrate both modalities, with transmission and scanning electron microscopes sitting side-by-side to laser scanning confocal and wide-field fluorescence microscopes. Although set up as a single integrated multi-user facility, we have dedicated specialist staff focussing on each of the domains of the facility in order to provide efficient and high-quality service covering the varied aspects of modern microscopy.
Our aim is to support research projects within the University of Exeter, as well as external projects and collaborations with state-of-the-art facilities and specialist knowledge for both light and electron microscopy users. We consider it vital that our users are satisfied and welcome any constructive criticism.
If you have any questions about the Bioimaging Centre or would like to use any of our microscopes or other equipment, then please get in contact with us.
The University of Exeter Research Facilities: Bioimaging, Cytomics, Mass Spectrometry and Sequencing are delighted to announce that they now hold BSI certification to ISO 9001:2015.
This certification by the UK’s National Standards Body (NSB) which represents the UK economic and social interests across all European and international standards organizations is an important accolade as confirms that the RFs comply with the rigorous standards set by BSI to the ISO 9001: 2015 standard. Certifications such as ISO 9001:2015 aid innovation, support economic growth and improve quality, safety and well-being through standardisation.
