Confocal and widefield imaging
The core's staff help you image live or fixed samples on the right microscope: Snow Leopard (Olympus FV3000) for live and fixed confocal imaging with incubation, Tarsier (Zeiss LSM 880 with Airyscan) for higher resolution, and the Keyence Coyotes for widefield fluorescence, brightfield and tiled large areas.
