Super-resolution
ESRIC super-resolution imaging systems: Nikon N-STORM 5 and SIM/SORA.
Our super-resolution systems form part of our award winning Edinburgh Super Resolution Interdisciplinary Consortium (ESRIC) project, together with our partners at Heriot-Watt University. For information about the equipment at Heriot-Watt, please visit the ESRIC website. For detailed technical information for academic ESRIC users please follow this link. As part of ESRIC we offer an annual international training school endorsed by the Royal Microscopial Society. To celebrate our research achievements and widen the ESRIC network, the Institute of Genetics and Cancer hosts and annual symposium.
