Microscopy and imaging research center

The open-access AMI Imaging Center is housed at the University of Cape Town, South Africa. Access to the AMI Imaging Center is through peer-reviewed proposals open to all African scientists working at non-profit African institutions. Successful applicants will be awarded approximately four weeks to complete the proposed microscopy experiments on site. The Imaging Center will cover the cost of travel, local lodging, instrument time as well as the cost of experiments within reason.
