Leica
Confocal Optical Microscope*:
Confocal Micrsocope is an excellent optical imaging tool pushing the resolution
limits of the optics. Our system is Leica make with the model name DM-IRBE.
It has many advanced features like precision motorized Z-drive, two lamps
(halogen and a mercury lamp) coupled with multi laser excitation and dual
Photomultiplier detection. It is also equipped with Narishige micromanipulator
and microinjection tools for cell and vesicles manipulation.
*- This equipment
is located at the Optical Microscopy facility (a MRSEC Confocal Microscope
Central facility) in Polymer Science Engineering Dept. and the Nanostructures
Lab Director has access to the equipment.
