The facility is equipped with two confocal systems with a range of capabilities including fast laser scanning through a resonance scan head, live cell imaging, high-thoughput sampling, volume (z-stack) Imaging, TIRF FRAP and spectral deconvolution to name but a few. For more information about these functions please email the facility at medlconf@ leeds.ac.uk and we would be happy to provide more information and advice about these functions.
The A1R is our most capable system built on the Eclipse TiE Microscope (Nikon Instruments) providing stable time-lapse imaging with automatic focus correction system and a high speed motorized stage with a broad range of sample vessel options. The A1R LSM provides a hybrid scan head allowing for the collection of high quality images through its unique pinhole and galvano scan head or high acquisition rates with 512 x 512 pixel definition at speeds of up to 30 frames per second. This system is fitted with its own incubation chamber allowing for live cell confocal assessments in gas and temperature controlled environment.
