Core Facility Microscopy
 

The facility offers a broad spectrum of advanced microscopic methods. It provides equipment and expertise to assist investigators in applying light microscopy and fluorescence microscopy techniques to their research.

We offer a complete solution for the efficient observation and documentation of living cells (long-term live cell imaging/cell monitoring), with 4D, 5D and 6D imaging and observation of cell-cell communication, apoptosis and proliferation by the Cell Observer System. A trend analysis of these changes can be performed by the
Cell IQ V2 MLF Cell Imaging and Analysis System. For the documentation of fast cellular changes (Calcium changes, measurements of intracellular ion concentrations) an inverted fluorescence microscope with high speed polychromator, fast high-resolution digital camera and microperfusion unit is available.
 
Visualization of intracellular compartments, co-localization studies, protein-protein interaction can be studied using our LSM 510 Meta system.

Aperio Slide Scanner and TissueFAXS enable documentation of slides and automated analysis of colored and fluorescent staining.
 
Technical support and assistance is provided for fixation, embedding, sectioning and immunohistochemical staining of tissues. Assays and staining protocols are available to identify cellular damange and to label intracellular organelles.
