Welcome to the Centre for Biophotonics

This unique facility was created to foster world class interdisciplinary research between life scientists and physicists in the area of high-resolution optical imaging. This was made possible by substantial funding from the Joint Infrastructure Fund, the Scottish Higher Education Funding Council, and the University of Strathclyde. The primary objective is to create an internationally recognized centre of excellence for the development and application of novel optical techniques in the life sciences.

The Centre for Biophotonics houses state-of-the-art confocal, multiphoton laser scanning and epifluorescence microscopes along with the latest image analysis software. The technology is strongly supported by dedicated staff with extensive expertise in both the development and biological applications of multiphoton technology.

We welcome collaboration and will be happy to discuss your imaging requirements.
