Microscopy - In House Service

The CMMC Microscopy In-House service is now integrated into the CECAD Imaging facility.

Support is provided by Dr. Astrid Schauss (Head of CECAD Imaging Facility) and her team.

The Microscopy In-House Service offers a range of modern scientific equipment specializing in confocal microscopy, light microscopy, and digital image capture.

The Service provides scientific and technical support in basic and advanced light microscopy and digital image processing as well as hands-on-training on the equipment to members and guests of the CMMC.

Dear Microscopy Users,

We implemented the following regulations for all users of the Microscopy In-House Service:

Registration and Booking

Registration and training is absolutely necessary before the first use of the following microscopes
Stellaris 5 confocal microscope
Leica DMI8 fluorescence/light microscope
Olympus IX83 widefield microscope
First time user must arrange an advance meeting with Dr. Mehrnaz Babaki via email: mbabaki[at]uni-koeln.de
Please read the instructions of the CMMC webpage carefully!
Users trained on the CECAD Stellaris 5 microscopes need to make a short appointment (5min, no charge) before using the CMMC Stellaris 5 for the first time, because both devices are a bit different (e.g. different laser).
Please contact Dr. Mehrnaz Bbaki (email: mbabaki[at]uni-koeln.de).
Online booking is mandatory and you are only allowed to use microscopes sticking to the time slot booked by you.
It is not allowed to enter the Microscopy In House Service to see if a microscope is free. All checking and booking must be done online
