| HISTOLOGY |
 |
Histology and related techniques are used
more and more to complement molecular and
biochemical studies. Transgenic mouse mod-
els also involve phenotype analysis at the
tissue level. We provide histology, immuno-
histochemistry, imaging and morphometry
expertise and assist in the setting up and
optimising of new immunohistochemical,
immunofluorescence or in situ hybridisation
approaches. The facility has equipment for
processing tissue samples prior to paraffin
embedding, as well as histology/immuno-
histochemistry on paraffin and frozen sec-
tions. Advice and training in various histo-
logical techniques, necropsies, imaging and
morphometric analysis is available. The lab
is equipped with e.g. Leica rotary microtomes
for paraffin sectioning, an automated tissue
processing unit, paraffin embedding unit,
automated haematoxylin and eosin stainer,
and a microwave processing labstation for
antigen retrieval. Two deconvolution micro-
scopes and a confocal microscope are
available.
