Live Cell Imaging

Incucyte display

All of the Facility's confocal and wide-field systems have some kind of environmental control; the systems most frequently used for live cell imaging are shown below. Our dedicated live cell imaging platform is a Sartorius Incucyte, which is a wide-field fluorescence microscope specifically designed to fit inside a standard tissue culture incubator.

Our systems:

Sartorius Incucyte SX5

A wide-field fluorescence microscope in an incubator

4x, 10x, 20x objectives

Green/Red and Green/Orange/Near-infrared optical modules

Ideal for longer term live cell imaging experiments running over days or weeks that requiring tightly regulated environmental conditions

Up to 6 separate vessels (multi-well plates, T75s etc), running different acquisition protocols for each vessel.

Common applications include monitoring cell growth and proliferation, expression of reporter genes, spheroid/organoid development, wound healing.
