Laboratory for Cell Analysis (LCA)

The LCA-microscopy mission is to assist the UCSF Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center and wider UCSF community with microscopy instrumentation and imaging support. 

We offer state of the art confocal, multiphoton, and high throughput imaging, as well as a number of diverse basic microscopy equipment, and assistance with experimental design, instrument operation and data analysis.
Our main facility is located on the third floor of the  Hellen Diller Cancer research building at 4150 3rd street on the Mission Bay campus.
