The visual light-based microscope equipment park ranges from a standard brightfield/fluorescence microscope equipped with a color camera, to advanced fluorescence microscopes, including confocal laser scanning microscopes (CLSM), spinning disk confocal, and a slide scanner.
Several of the microscopes are set up for Live Cell Imaging. There is also access to image analysis software (Huygens) for colocalization, 3D/4D-rendering, deconvolution etc.
In addition to visual light-based techniques, the equipment park includes both a 120 kV transmission (TEM) and a bench-top scanning (SEM) electron microscope. A fully equipped lab is available for sample preparation both for electron microscopy and histology.
For more information concerning microscopes and training, please contact Vesa Loitto. For more information concerning sample preparation for electron microscopy or histology, please contact Maria Ntzouni.
