Equipment | Overview

Name  Make/Model  Functionality  Location 
LSM 700 Laser Scanning Confocal Zeiss This upright confocal is particularly suitable for combinations of GFP/YFP with the new generation of fluorescent proteins (e.g. mOrange/mCherry), and is fitted with a manual stage, facilitating easy location of samples/regions of interest. CLS13035

LSM 980 Airyscan 2 Confocal

Zeiss

A laser scanning confocal microscope enables full 3D imaging of both live and fixed samples. The airyscan detector provides faster image acquisition and higher resolution than typical confocal imaging.

CLS13035
SteREO Discovery Dissecting Microscope Zeiss Ideal for dissections this microscope uses a variable LED transmitted light base for even illumination of specimens, supplemental fibre optic illuminators, and a rotatable nosepiece with a 0.3 x, 0.5 x and 1 x objectives with programmable motorized zoom. Video capable for protocol development.  CLS12145
AxioImager Slide-scanning Microscope Zeiss Able to obtain widefield images for fluorescent and/or colorimetric/histology stains, complete with a slide-scanning stage for up to 8 slides

CLS13035

LS7 Lightsheet Microscope

Zeiss 

A lightsheet microscope enables full 3D volumetric imaging of transparent samples, both live and fixed. Particular sample preparation (eg. tissue clearing) is required.

CLS13035
Ti Eclipse inverted microscope Nikon Equipped with an incubator unit and automated stage, this system allows long term imaging of living samples.

CLS12120

MPE-RS Two-photon Microscope

Olympus System capable of in-vivo imaging in anesthesized- and awake-behaving mice and rats. Custom rig set-up available. Enders SB-0068
TCS SP8-STED microscope (super resolution) Leica  The base of this system is a standard confocal microscope suitable. Also available at the system is the Leica TCS SP8 STED ONE with white-light laser, for super-resolution STED imaging.  CLS13035
CLARITY Tissue clearing system Life Canvas An all-in-one instrument for tissue clearing. This system is able to process, and clarify a whole adult mouse brain in under 48 hours, allowing the sample to then be immunolabelled (IF/ICC, endogenous expression) and imaged downstream. CLS12145

IMARIS 10 Image Analysis Software

Oxford Instruments

3D/4D visualization and analysis for cell based segmentation, automated tracking, detection, interactive lineage trees and statistical tests (for customization in Matlab, Java or Python) CLS13035
