SIMcheck v1.0, an ImageJ plugin suite for super-resolution stuctured illumination microscopy data quality control will be available soon. Watch this space!
Micron Advanced Microscopy Course
We hold an annual advanced microscopy course for Wellcome Trust postgraduate students (and other interested research staff).
This years Lecture course will be held in Autumn 2013.
Wiki
We have a Micron wiki, which is constantly evolving and being updated with useful information. Internal users can register and edit the wiki (external users will soon be be able to view a snapshot of the most useful information).
FAQs
Q. Who can use the Micron facilities, and what are the charges?
Access is straighforward for researchers belonging to Biochemistry or Pathology, and relatively easy to arrange for those in other Oxford departments. External users are welcome to enquire about working collaboratively. Charges are usually around £20 per. hour for internal users.
Protocols
Micron OME database

We have a OME database, for analysis and longterm storage of images. Further inforamtion about use of the database and details of how to get an account see the wikipage, or contact Douglas Russell
