Platform for Imaging by Microscopy

1. Confocal microscopy, laser scanning and spinning disk – high resolution, optical sectioning
2. FRAP (Fluorescence Recovery after Photobleaching) – molecular dynamics of defined sample regions
3. Laser Micro-Dissection (LMD) – precise cutting of defined regions of microscopic specimen
4. Live cell imaging – environmental control (temperature, CO2) for long-term imaging of cells, organoids, embryos
5. Micro-manipulation, micro-injection – precise mechanical sample manipulation and injection 
6. Monochrome and color detection – fast, light-sensitive cameras and detectors
7. Multi-photon microscopy – powerful laser of long wavelength to penetrate deep into tissue
8. Slide scanning – automated imaging of large fields of view by capturing an array of images and stitching them into one mosaic composite
9. Spectral imaging – free choice of emission wavelength without filters
10. Stereo-microscope/macroscope for large samples
11. Super-resolution microscopy – STED (stimulated emission-depletion) on one laser scanning confocal to go beyond limit of resolution
12. Total Internal Reflection Microscopy (TIRF) – imaging a very thin layer 
13. Transmitted light and fluorescence
14. Upright and inverted configurations
15. White light laser – free choice of excitation wavelength
