The AOMF manages instruments at both Princess Margaret and Toronto General Hospitals, as well as STTARR. In addition, we also provide training and support for CBTC at U of T. We are equipped for nearly any optical microscopy application, from macro to micro, including:

• Widefield fluorescence for routine imaging of live and fixed cells and tissues
• Confocal/Multiphoton for high resolution optical sectioning and 3D imaging
• Spinning Disk Confocal for fast live cell imaging
• Phase Contrast/DIC/Darkfield including cell tracking and wound healing
• Whole slide scanning/tiling for virtual microscopy and whole tissue quantification
• Laser Capture Microdissection for extracting single cells or small tissue sections
• TIRF (Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence) microscopy for high resolution imaging of near-surface phenomena
• In vivo bioluminescence and fluorescence for non-invasive small animal imaging
• Intravital imaging including window chamber models
• Microinjection
• Laser Scanning Cytometry for high content image acquisition and analysis
• Electrophysiology for studying ion channels in cells using patch clamp techniques
• Calcium Imaging for measuring calcium ratios in cells

Feel free to contact us for a consultation and tour of the facility: we will gladly help you figure out what instruments and procedures you should use for your imaging experiments. For a complete list of equipment, check out the equipment categories in the menu.
