Research infrastructure The Biochemical Imaging Centre Umeå (BICU) is a national infrastructure that provides state-of-the-art microscopy technology, including advanced light microscopy and atomic force microscopy. Together with UCEM, BICU forms a node in the National Microscopy Infrastructure (NMI), Sweden for Correlative imaging. Please contact us for further information: info.bicu@umu.se

Light Microscopy

We provide advanced live cell imaging techniques.

Correlative Imaging

We can perform correlative imaging.

Atomic Force Microscopy

Our AFM can be used to scan various surfaces.

Services provided at BICU

  • Consultation prior to imaging.
  • Technical support for image acquisition.
  • Personal training to provide drivers licence per instrument.
