Confocal microscopy

Cell & tissue imaging Microscopy Confocal microscopy

Service description

Confocal microscope is a specific fluorescent microscope used in imaging to increase optical resolution and contrast compared to epifluorescent microscope, by eliminating out-of-focus light. Image collection requires scanning, thus the data collection is significantly slower than other microscopes, however the scanning makes it a excellent candidate to generate 3D images. Specific needs in terms of treatment, data collected, etc. can be specified to generate a full experimental observation.

Materials to provide

• Samples (fixed cells or cells in culture)
• Cell growth conditions
