The Confocal Microscopy and Image Analysis Core provides instrumentation and expertise to support the acquisition, processing and analysis of both fluorescence and bright-field micrographs captured ...

The basic scheme here is known as confocal laser scanning fluorescence microscopy, where a laser at one wavelength excites fluorescent tags bound to structures in a sample. Light emitted by the ...

The Cell Imaging Center houses two types of confocal microscopes: the Olympus FV1000 and the Zeiss LSM700. In confocal microscopy, laser light is focused into a very small spot and is scanned across ...

The Nikon C2 confocal microscope was installed in Oct. 2014 and stands to provide numerous grant opportunities for WMU due to its advanced capabilities. WMU graduate student Darcy Trimpe has already ...

researchers use techniques like fluorescence microscopy, which relies on special indicators that light up when cells are active. A popular indicator used in this type of research is GCaMP ...
