The ICON-Pathology Lab of the Institute of Veterinary
Pathology of the LMU offers ICON members scientific
cooperations in tissue-based translational research projects. We
provide broad expertise in pathological analysis, including
necropsies (all mammal species), qualitative (diagnostic)
pathology, (light-microscopic) histomorphological analysis
(cryo-, paraffin- and plastic-histology), immunohistochemistry,
in-situ-hybridization, quantitative morphological analysis
(stereology), histomorphometrical analysis, 3D-Laser-light-sheet
microscopy (LSFM) and electron microscopy (transmission
electron microscopy-TEM and scanning electron microscopy-
SEM).
We support cooperation partners in experimental design,
planning of necropsies and sampling of defined tissue specimen,
adequate sample processing for downstream analyses,
assessment of quantitative histomorphological and ultrastructural
parameters, imaging and publication of results.
The Core-facility service of the ICON-Pathology Lab provides
access to lab-space and technical equipment for histological
analyses for own use by ICON-members after initial training by
our staff (every two weeks). Operating instructions for the
different devices that are provided for use by ICON-members can
be downloaded from the links below.
- Cryo-histology
- Paraffin-embedding of tissue samples
- Preparation of histological slides for light microscopy
- Immunohistochemistry
- Staining of slides with standard stains
- Microscopes for quality control are provided
- Digital scanning of slides
