LMCF Logo

The Light Microscopy Core Facility (LMCF), founded in 2011, is housed in the听Department of Molecular, Cellular, & Developmental听Biology located in Porter Biosciences. We are open听access and serve CU Boulder, academia听and the听biotech industry. We house 8 different imaging听systems that allow researchers to observe wide-ranging samples from the microscopic to macroscopic听scale, including 鈴� cells, tissues, organoids, embryos,听and materials.

Our听vision听is to advance the academic听and scientific mission of the university and to educate听users in microscopy and image analysis.听We feel it is听critical to provide advice on experimental design and听trouble shooting, and to help develop novel听approaches and data analysis methods. We will work听with you!听Google: 鈥淐U LMCF鈥濃��
