Confocal Microscope
Leica SP5 spectral scanning confocal microscope is a research-grade confocal microscope with advanced features that allows it to be used for high-resolution confocal imaging as well as techniques such as FRAP, FRET and FLIM.
Bio-Rad MRC-1000UV is comprised of a Confocal Laser Scanning Microscope System, a Nikon Diaphot 300 inverted microscope and two lasers, Krypton/Argon and UV-Argon. The available excitation wavelengths are 351, 363, 488, 514, 568 and 647 nm.
Electron Microprobe
Cameca SX51 Microprobe with SAMx Analysis and control software; Gresham Sirius EDS.
Laser Ablation ICP MS
Agilent 7500cs ICP MS is used for chemical analysis of material ablated using a high performance New Wave Nd Yag 213 UV. The 7500 ICP MS is equipped with a He collision cell for removal of matrix interferences. The LA ICP-MS will be used for trace metal analyses, zircon dating and an extensive range of materials analyses which require low levels of detection.
Agilent 7500cx solution ICPMS with He/H2 ORS
Laser Microdissection Microscopes
LEICA - AS LMD offers a powerful tool for contamination free isolation of single cells or cell groups in preparation for PCR, RT-PCR and Proteomics etc. The method was developed after LCM and LPC combining automated upright microscope architecture, three-dimensional optical control of the dissecting laser beam and non contact sample collection by gravity.
P.A.L.M. Microlaser Technologies A PALM® MicroLaser System that uses P.A.L.M.'s unique Laser Microdissection and Pressure Catapulting (LMPC) technology, which combines LMM (Laser Microbeam Microdissection) and LPC (Laser Pressure Catapulting) technique, the modern technology for "non-contact" precise laser micromanipulation.
Multi-Photon Microscope
Bio-Rad Radiance 2000MP Visualising system, Nikon Eclipse TE300 inverted microscope and Coherent Mira900-F titanium:saphire ultrafast laser. The available excitation spectrum is 700 - 980nm.
