Services
The Preclinical Imaging Facility supports translational and basic research programs by providing users access to a variety of high-end in vivo and ex vivo imaging instruments. Located within the TRI's Biological Resources Facility (BRF), a specific pathogen-free PC2 facility, researchers can utilise multiple imaging modalities in a single longitudinal study. High resolution imaging of clinical samples or other materials is also possible on some equipment.
