Leica TCS 4D Confocal Laser Scanning Microscope
The Leica TCS 4D confocal laser scanning microscope is equipped with a Leitz DMIRB inverted research microscope, and an argon/krypton laser. Laser lines available are 488nm, 568nm and 647nm. This instrument provides high resolution images by using a variable pinhole for optical “z” sectioning and laser scanning. Various light microscopy imaging modules, including DIC, and phase contrast also can be performed. Full training can be provided in the use of this instrument and advice given in the preparation of samples.
For further details please contact Dr Christina Theodoropoulos
