MICROSCOPY

The Microscopy Area is a research laboratory equipped with:

• three laser scanning confocal microscopes for fluorescence studies of cell systems, intact organisms and biological tissues;
• an Olympus IX81 inverted microscope and a Zeiss LSM 900 system for the live-imaging microscopy technique;
• two field emission scanning electron microscopes for high resolution imaging of biological systems;
• a transmission electron microscope for the ultrastructural analysis of biological systems;
• the tools necessary for the preparation of samples for both scanning and transmission electron microscopy.
