We currently have the following equipment:
- Fluorescence microscope with digital image acquisition system. It has dry and oil immersion objectives (63x and 100x) and filters for DAPI/CMAC, FITC/GFP, CFP, YFP, DsRed and Rodamina visualisation.
- Multidimensional microscopy station. Allows the rapid acquisition of fluorescence images in living cells. It is equipped with RGB, CFP/YFP and far-red filters, incubator with CO2 and temperature control and motorised plate. It also has image deconvolution software.
- Leica SP5 confocal microscope, equipped with resonant scanner, incubation chamber with CO2 and O2 control, and excitation at 405, 488, 561 and 633 nm. –
- Olympus Mitico IX83 TIRF Light Microscope, equipped with Hamamatsu CCD camera, incubator with CO2 control and excitation at 488 and 561 nm.
