Comprehensive Course on Fluorescence Microscopy

What's New


Welcome to the Advanced Optical Microscopy Facility

The Advanced Optical Microscopy Facility (AOMF) is a multi-site facility with instruments both at Princess Margaret and Toronto General Hospitals. We provide researchers with the latest in optical microscope technology for the observation of fixed cells, live cells, and tissues. Our modern instruments range from basic transmitted and fluorescence light microscopes to advanced confocal and two-photon microscopes, whole-slide scanners, and in-vivo imaging instruments.

We offer:
  • Free consultations to determine which microscopes would best suit your application
  • Comprehensive training and support on our various instruments
  • Full-service image capture and analysis (a great way to get started quickly)
  • High-resolution whole slide scanning services
  • Practical courses on microscopy, including one-on-one hands-on sessions
    (eg: Fundamentals of Microscopy) and larger workshops tailored to your group's applications
  • Software and training for image processing and quantification
