The Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre - Research Division houses a high class microscopy facility. The Microscopy Core provides support for both internal and external users, especially in regards to electron microscopy.

   

 

The La Trobe University Department of Biochemistry has a range of imaging systems including widefeild, confocal and FCS.

 
Monash Micro Imaging provides a large range of microscopy equipment and expertise for use by Monash University staff and students, as well as external users.
 

 


 

Interest Groups

Fluorescent Applications in Biotechnology and Life Sciences (FABLS) is an ARC/NHMRC network dedicated to inspire and coordinate multi-disciplinary research into applications of fluorescence which require a hig degree of interaction of expertise in biology, physics, chemistry, bioengineering and medicine.

   

 

The Fluourecence Imaging Group (FIG) of Victoria. FIG was formed to support and develop fluorecent imaging techniques.

   

 

 

 

 


 

Information Sites

The Molecular Expressions site contains a plethora of microscopy information, images and tutorials.

   

 

MicroscopyU is ran by Nikon. While providing information about Nikon microscopes it also provides detailed information and tutorials about basic microscpy and fluorecence concepts.

   

 

The Microscopy Resource Center is ran by Olympus. Like MicroscopyU it provides information about the companies equipment but also has a large collection of tutorials and interative java applets demonstrating microscopy concepts.
