Correlative light electron microscopy (CLEM)

The Wolfson Bioimaging Facility is specifically equipped to combine light and electron microscopy and to undertake CLEM experiments. By utilising the advantages of fluorescence microscopy (e.g. live cell imaging) with the higher resolution and contextual information which EM provides, CLEM can deliver considerably more information than either modality alone.
