Light Microscopy Methods in Biology

Structural Biology Seminar: Milan Ešner, CEITEC MU

Light microscopy is an indispensable tool in biological research, allowing us to see into the otherwise invisible world of living organisms. Using visible light and special staining techniques, we are able to observe not only the morphology of organelles/cells/tissues, but also the dynamic processes that take place within them. In addition, the resolution of current light microscopes is approaching that of electron microscopes, allowing us to observe living native specimens with almost nanometers precision.
The Cellular Imaging Core Facility (CELLIM) provides users with access to state-of-the-art instrumentation and techniques in light microscopy. Our laboratory offers not only standard epifluorescence and confocal microscopes, but also advanced super-resolution and lightsheet microscopes. Analytical methods for quantifying image data are also an integral part of our services.

This event is part of the NCBR Seminar Series.
