Find out about bachelor's degrees, postgraduate courses and all the educational courses offered by the UdG.
Teaching is concentrated in the faculties and schools, and the departments deal with research, which is also conducted by institutes and chairs, at the same time responsible for knowledge promotion.
Confocal Laser Microscopy is a microscopic observation technique that is based on obtaining images of the emission of fluorescent light from the sample, from which the light from the out-of-focus planes is removed, collecting only the focal plane light. This has great advantages over conventional microscopy, such as greater contrast, sharpness and resolution of the images, and the possibility of obtaining optical sections of the sample to perform three-dimensional studies.
In order to request that a sample be analysed, you need to contact the staff responsible for the team.
You will need to give the toxicity and any storage precautions. Once the report has been delivered, if you do not collect the sample within one week, any remaining sample will be destroyed.
- Bank of lasers
- Scanning module
- Motorized turntable
- Control modules for photomultiplier and spectral detectors
- Cell incubation system
- Control program NIKON NIS-Elements AR v 4.10
It is a spectral confocal laser microscopy (CLSM) module and a structured light microscopy module of the "Spinning disc” type. Both modules have been installed on a high performance motorised inverted microscope.
Technical characteristics of the instrumental set:
Possibility to carry out different fluorescence assays in live cell: FRAP, FRET, PA, Time lapse experiments, colocalization studies,..., and also by means of reflection, observing the structure of materials, pores and microfisures, roughness, three-dimensional fibre studes, and so on.
