Light Microscopy:

Our light microscopy capabilities support a wide range of scientific investigations, from the traditional bright field microscopy that vividly reveals the morphology of biological specimens to cutting-edge methods like confocal microscopy and super-resolution microscopy that push the boundaries of resolution. Researchers can track dynamic processes, study molecular interactions, and visualize the intricate architectures of biological systems with unparalleled clarity.

Microscopy applications:

• 2D, 3D cell imaging.

• 2D, 3D Imaging with regions, time lapse

• Spectral unmixing.

• FRET/FRAP.

• Topography measurement.
