Confocal Microscope Facility
About confocal microscopy
A confocal microscope detects the fluorescence emitted when the specimen is scanned by a laser. The result: high resolution images and the ability to directly observe dynamic processes in live cells. Cell components can be precisely localised, and accurate three-dimensional information is easily obtained. The behaviour and interactions of molecules can be studied. More....
