Welcome to the Wolfson Bioimaging Facility
Light Microscopy Unit

The Wolfson Bioimaging Facility is situated in the Medical Sciences Building. Following funding from the Wolfson Foundation, MRC and University of Bristol, the MRC Cell Imaging Facility (opened 1997) has been expanded, refurbished and augmented by a new state of the art Electron Microscopy Unit.

The primary aim of the Light Microscopy Unit is to provide high quality cell imaging equipment for the biological and biomedical research community in Bristol. Users receive full training in the use of confocal and other light microscopes.

In these pages you can find information on the microscope systems we have, links to tutorial pages for information on fluorescence microscopy, view images collected using our systems in Bristol and find out about any new developments.

Manager - Dr. Mark A. Jepson

Technicians - Alan Leard & Katy Jepson (part time)
