Advanced Optical Microscopy Facility at UHN
Two-photon microscope, 3D rendering and analysis of nuclear foci, flourescently-labeled mouse kidney cells, non-invasive bioluminescence image of tumour

The Advanced Optical Microscopy Facility (AOMF) is a multi-site facility with instruments at The Princess Margaret Cancer Centre and the Toronto General Hospital. 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
