Enable the best imaging science at VIB
It is our mission to facilitate science and provide access to know-how and measurement time on state-of-the-art microscopes. We have ample solutions available, including confocal microscopes, slide scanning, high content screening, and 3D whole organ imaging. We take pride in our support for image analysis both with infrastructure and expertise, and we connect with our EM infrastructure.
"By the help of microscopes, there is nothing so small, as to escape our inquiry; hence there is a new visible world discovered to the understanding.”

About the Core
The VIB Bioimaging Core Leuven goal is to support imaging from in vitro to in vivo, from the meso to the Ångström scale, and from morphology to mechanism. It is our mission to facilitate science and provide access to know-how and measurement time on state-of-the-art microscopes. We have ample solutions available, including confocal microscopes, slide scanning, high content screening, and 3D whole organ imaging. We take pride in our support for image analysis both with infrastructure and expertise, and we connect with our EM infrastructure that offers a wide variety of techniques for sample prep and imaging including SEM, TEM and CLEM.
