Super-Resolution Imaging Consortium (SRIC)

The Super-Resolution Imaging Consortium is located in the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI), Dublin. The SRIC has four microscopes suitable for the highest resolution fluorescence imaging with capabilities spanning confocal, STED, SMLM, SRRF and CLEM techniques. We offer training, assistance and our expertise to researchers of the RCSI so as to visiting scientists.
