About
The Oxford Particle Imaging Centre (OPIC) is part of the Division of Structural Biology (STRUBI) within the Nuffield Department of Medicine (NDM) at the University of Oxford.
OPIC offers a wealth of high resolution imaging resources for internal and external applicants.
Working in synergy with eBIC (Harwell, UK), we have the unique capability of preparing and collecting TEM data on BSL3 virus samples.
Access to our facility is available at request for academia and industry alike at competitive prices, and funding is available via Instruct.
