Discussion: Say hello
Reply:Hi all, I'm Liisa Hirvonen and I work in sunny Perth at the University of Western Australia. With a background in instrument development, I moved here in 2019 to take up a job that sounded like a post-doc but I ended up managing the Optical Microscopy platform at the Centre for Microscopy, Characterisation and Analysis (CMCA) core facility. We are an open access facility, part of Microscopy Australia, with about 100 users/year from all fields of science. We have some basic and confocal microscopes, a slide scanner, as well as some more advanced platforms (FLIM, super-res, and soon to come a lightsheet microscope).
