The Laser Confocal Microscope Facility

  Two Biorad MR-600 Confocal Microscopes greatly enhance the resolution of the light microscope.
In these confocal microscopes, a laser beam scans the sample and three-dimensional reconstruction of objects can be accomplished using image-rendering software.

By labeling cellular components or entire groups of cells with flourescent molecules, it is possible to follow their distribution and eventual fate, with a high level of resolution not available with any other microscope.

Confocal microscopy is useful in living or fixed cells and tissues.
