The Light Microscopy Core Facility (LMCF) offers a wide range of confocal and conventional fluorescence microscopes and image analysis resources. The facility is based in the LSRC and the FFSC (French Family Science Center) of Duke University and is open to all members of the University and the Medical Center campuses.

As a centrally funded shared resource, we aim to offer affordable and efficient access to standard and advanced imaging instrumentation for users of all levels of experience and from any discipline. Dedicated staff provide training and full technical support for all the instruments.

If you are interested in using imaging techniques in your research, please see the equipment, capabilities, courses and services offered by the facility and request training for any resource you wish to use. If you have any questions, please contact the facility. Click the image below to see some examples of work done using the LMCF.
