The aim of this project is to establish the South Australian Facility for Advanced Molecular Imaging. The Facility builds on existing expertise and cooperation between the collaborating institutions to expand our capability in advanced analytical confocal microscopy of a wide range of materials from living cells to artificial surfaces. New state-of-the-art microscopes will allow the direct quantitative analysis of molecular interactions with high temporal and spatial resolutions. This will advance: understanding the regulation of cellular signalling, gene expression and growth in normal and pathological conditions; development of biosensor technology; and the application of new biomaterials in medicine and industry.Read moreRead less

Summary
A 5-D Correlative Imaging Platform: Combining the strengths of light and electron microscopy. This will be Australia's first dedicated five-dimensional multiphoton-microscopy platform, allowing observation of dynamic structures across different length and time scales under controlled temperatures, followed by high-resolution electron microscopy studies on the same samples. This platform will provide a unique characterisation tool to Australia's top-flight investigators, and so contribute to the ....A 5-D Correlative Imaging Platform: Combining the strengths of light and electron microscopy. This will be Australia's first dedicated five-dimensional multiphoton-microscopy platform, allowing observation of dynamic structures across different length and time scales under controlled temperatures, followed by high-resolution electron microscopy studies on the same samples. This platform will provide a unique characterisation tool to Australia's top-flight investigators, and so contribute to the nation's research priorities. It will enable: fundamental studies of cancer, neural diseases and immune disorders; the development of frontier technologies, such as smart nanomaterials, biosensors and targeted drug delivery; and applied research to help plants and soils adapt to climate variability, and to increase sustainable use of water.Read moreRead less
