RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURES

The basic methods for studying biological processes at the cellular level include light and electron microscopy, which enable the determination of the location where these processes take place. In recent times, rapidly developing microscopic methods are offering new possibilities for studying living cells and ensuring the tracking of individual molecules at the cellular level or accurately determining the location of these molecules in intracellular structures. New methods require professionally trained staff and quality and well-maintained equipment. The basic purpose of the Center for Electron Microscopy is to implement methods of microscopy on biological materials to provide knowledge and equipment to visiting researchers. Classical light and electron microscopy belong to the essential methods of molecular cell-biological research work and are used in diagnostics as well. The combination of light and electron microscopy, the so-called correlative microscopy, combines the advantages of light and electron microscopy, and enables the study of dynamic processes in living cells and a resolution close to 1 nm. The Centre for Electron Microscopy with its advanced microscopy methods in combination with the Laboratory for Cell Cultures with BSL2 certificate, offers excellent opportunities to conduct the most up-to-date research in the field of biomedicine. Our infrastructure supports interdisciplinary approach to the experimental solutions, which is crucial for successful work and optimal use of equipment and development of methods.
