Infrastructure Details
Acronym
MBIO
Description
The MBIO platform at Lund University is a facility that provides researchers with access to advanced microscopy, imaging, and chemical analysis techniques. It offers a wide range of instruments, including electron and light microscopes, micro-CT, Raman and IR microscopes, and XPS microprobe, supporting studies from subcellular structure to 3D imaging. The platform provides training, technical support, and sample preparation assistance, and is open to both academic and industrial users.
