BMIF unites scientists dedicated to medical research, who address substantial scientific research questions of clinical relevance.
Falling within the UNSW Analytical Centre, the BMIF is a world-class imaging facility that enables innovative, cross-disciplinary research at the forefront of fundamental biomolecular sciences. The BMIF is particularly strong in cell and single molecule imaging.
The BMIF also leads Australia in the design, establishment and testing of new microscopes and imaging technologies. Our team work closely with international optic manufacturers to further advance technologies in bioengineering and bionanotechnology, which will aid our research towards finding answers to outstanding biomedical questions.
Currently the BMIF has thirteen microscopes, available for research and analysis by students, academics and interested parties. The focus of the BMIF is fluorescence microscopy, examining samples illuminated by high energy light.
Our microscopes enable:
We also have other imaging modes such as atomic force microscopy (AFM) and the BMIF oversees a tissue culture facility and associated laboratories for sample preparation.
