York Imaging Day

Your invitation to a whole new world of possibilities underpinned by microscopy and cytometry

Tuesday 12 May 2026 | Imaging and Cytometry Labs

Not sure what imaging or cytometry could do for you, or what new technology now enables? With £5.5M investment in cutting-edge technology and expert staff, our open-access world leading facilities are ready to help you exploit the very latest technologies.
Whether you are looking for 3D volume imaging or high-speed imaging spectral sorting, "no job is too big or too small" for our professional team. Thanks to our collaborators Zeiss and Andor Technology for providing this opportunity.
