Spinning Disk Confocal Microscope for State-of-the-Art Cellular Imaging at UW–Madison

Description:

A state-of-the-art spinning disk confocal microscope will expand access to campus researchers while providing new super-resolution and photomanipulation capabilities. The central location will help limit the distance needed to transport live samples for imaging. In addition to live imaging, this flexible platform will support high-throughput and high-resolution imaging needs.

The Biochemistry Optical Core provides state-of-the-art instrumentation for light and fluorescence-based microscopy, including epifluorescence, confocal and super-resolution imaging.
