Confocal Microscopy
This facility has a confocal microscope which uses a krypton/argon laser and COMOS software. It is suitable for both single and double labelled fluorescent samples. The Olympus microscope is of the inverted type, and is equipped with phase contrast condensor, transmission detector, and a variety of apochromatic and achromatic objectives. Confocal Assistant software is available for handling of image files.

Molecular Imager
This facility is based on a BioRad FX Imager. This versatile instrument uses laser based technology and Quantity One software to scan, capture and quantify both radio-isotope and fluorophor labelled molecules. Imaging plates, gels, trays and plates, in a variety of formats, can be scanned. A variety of wavelengths are available to detect commonly used fluorescent molecules.
Please contact Mr Chris Cusaro for further details.
