Centre for Microscopy, Characterisation and Analysis
(formerly the Biomedical Imaging and Analysis Facility)
The CMCA (QEII site) in The University of Western Australia is located at the Queen Elizabeth II Medical Centre. The facility was created in 2004 by an amalgamation of equipment previously purchased with grants awarded by Lotterywest under its Medical Research Programme and by the NH&MRC. The major items of equipment consist of a Bio-Rad MRC 1000/1024 UV Laser Scanning Confocal Microscope, a Becton Dickinson FACS Vantage Cell Sorter, FACS Calibur Flow Cytometer, FACS Scan Flow Cytometer and a PALM Laser Microdissector with Laser Tweezers. BIAF specialises in providing high-level expertise, advice and training on the use of these instruments and related laser and fluorescence based techniques. Primary financial support for the facility is provided by The University of Western Australia, and the Faculties of Medicine and Dentistry, Life and Physical Sciences, Natural and Agricultural Sciences and Engineering, Computing and Mathematics. In late 2006, the facility was amalgamated with the Centre for Microscopy and Microanalysis (CMM) on the main University of WA campus with the new combined facility renamed to CMCA.
