The Biomolecular Sensing and Imaging Group is responsible for maintaining
the following facilities for the Institute:
Advanced Imaging Centre including atomic force microscopes,
near-field scanning optical microscope, total internal reflection
fluorescence microscope, confocal spectrofluorimeter and FTIR,
fluorescence and UV-vis-IR spectrometers,
Ultrahigh-Vacuum System equipped with Scanning Tunneling Microscopy
(STM), High Resolution Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy (HREELS),
Low Energy Electron Diffraction (LEED) and Auger Spectroscopy,
X-ray and UV photoemission,
Surface Analysis and Preparation equipment including single
wavelength ellipsometry, contact angle measurements and a Langmuir
Blodgett trough,
High-throughput Liquid Handling and Screening utilizing fluorescence
and luminescent plate readers to determine the activity of appropriate
reporters.
Cell Culture Facilities for the growth and maintenance of cell
lines to support cell-based screening and imaging activities.
