Welcome!
The Parnassus Advanced Light Microscopy (PALM) CoLab (Formerly BIDC) is an interdisciplinary center that aims to assemble, test, and apply emerging light microscopy techniques and technologies. The PALM works to provide both standard and custom light microscopy and data analysis solutions to the UCSF community. We strive to provide the lowest barrier of entry to access the state of the art imaging and data analysis techniques. Our microscopes include a range of confocal, light-sheet, widefield, optical sectioning, and other modalities. We also provide access to other support equipment in our wet lab.
Please see our New Users page for training and access.
