What is it?

The Advanced Light Microscopy Facility (ALMF) at European Molecular Biology Laboratories (EMBL) in Heidelberg offers a collection of state-of-the-art light microscopy equipment including high-content screening and accessory services.

Why is it?

  • The ALMF was set up as a co-operation between the EMBL and Industry to improve communication between users and producers of high end microscopy technology
  • To support in-house scientists and visitors in the use of all kinds of microscopy methods for their research.

Where is it?

Since December 2010 the ALMF is located on floor 5 in building 13. Five image analysis workstations are available in room 13-501. The offices of ALMF staff are in 13-502 and 13-503.
