Centre for Advanced Histology & Microscopy (CAHM)

The Centre for Advanced Histology and Microscopy (CAHM) underpins a multitude of cancer research projects and houses four core platforms:

  1. Histology.
  2. Optical Microscopy, which houses a suite of state-of-the-art high-end optical microscopes, including laser scanning confocal microscopes, a multimodal super resolution microscope, a dual laser multiphoton microscope, a laser capture microscope, and spatial proteomics and transciptomics equipment
  3. Electron Microscopy, inclusive of both transmission and scanning electron microscopy.
  4. Image Analysis.

Importantly, researchers utilising CAHM receive support, training and advice from expert technical scientists.
