Facility Overview

The confocal microscopy facility provides a variety of optical imaging modalities with the ability to visualize a variety of samples, from monolayers and small organisms, such as developing fly and fish embryos, to very thick sections from brain and other organ tissues. 

Modalities include laser point (LSCM) and field scanning confocal (CSU), Total Internal Reflectance Fluorescence (TIRF), Light-Sheet Fluorescence Microscopy (LSFM), Multi Photon (MP), and Widefield (WF). Quantitative imaging methods such as FRAP, FLIP, and FRET are available. The laboratory also maintains several workstations with software packages for image processing, analysis, and 3D image reconstruction.
