Description

The Leeds Institute for Cardiovascular and Metabolic Medicine (LICAMM) at the University of Leeds is seeking tenders for an intravital microscope system for in vivo analysis of cell function. The microscope will act as the primary machine within the LIGHT Building and will serve the needs of a wide group of cell biologists. A major focus of research will be the examination of cell-cell interactions in blood vessels of experimental animals. The equipment needs to be modifiable to future proof the provision for new requirements that may arise.
