Confocal microscopy (CLSM)
Confocal laser scanning microscopes (CLSM) scan samples sequentially point by point, or multiple points at once. The pixel information is assembled into an image. As a result, the optical sections are acquired with high contrast and high resolution in x, y and z. This instrument offers high sensitivity and spectral flexibility processes larger fields of view in super resolution and with shorter acquisition times; can image fixed samples with higher throughput and less bleaching.
Confocal microscopy is broadly used to resolve the detailed structure of the specific objects within the cell. Living or fixed cells or tissues can be specifically labeled using immunofluorescence. Enables the creation of sharp images of the exact plane of focus without disturbance of the fluorescent light from the background or other regions. Thicker samples can be analyzed with a confocal microscope. It also offers the ability to stack several images from different optical planes to create 3D structures to be analyzed.

Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy
We offer cutting edge imaging and analysis research across the physical and biological sciences with expertise in many aspects of electron microscopy and related techniques.
The technique of Scanning Electron Microscopy is a focused beam of electrons rastered across the specimen sample, and the transmitted beam is analyzed. SEM analyses include dark field imaging, bright field imaging, and spatially resolved analytical signals such as energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS) or electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) enabling high resolution imaging combined with analytical analysis, it offers a very high spatial SEM that can perform imaging at variable or extended pressure. These tools enable researchers to compensate for charging effects using an inert gas, and to study specimens under a greater range of conditions, including under hydration.
We offer sample preparation, patterning, milling and in-situ analysis. Our high-resolution scanning electron microscope is equipped with a variety of detectors that are used to study a broad range of specimens, from hard materials to biological specimens.

Automated critical point dryer
An efficient method for drying delicate samples for SEM applications. It preserves the surface structure of a specimen which could otherwise be damaged due to surface tension when changing from the liquid to gaseous state. Has the capacity to dry biological specimens, as well as industrial samples, like Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) or Micro fluids and gels in a fully automated and controlled process.
Automated sputter and carbon coater
A versatile high vacuum film deposition instrument that produces nanometer thin but robust carbon films, deposits a fine-grained metal layer and performs a glow discharge. This carbon coater can be used for depositing thin films on specimens, primarily for high resolution SEM and EDS analysis. It has a turbo pump, rotating specimen stage, and uses carbon rod evaporation. It has an automatic operation.
Performs thin-film (<30 nm) metal deposition for SEM and FIB sample preparation. It offers the coating methods sputtering, carbon thread, carbon rod and e-beam evaporation. Up to two methods can be used at the same time. This gives the flexibility to choose the best methods for the individual applications. This is realized with angled sources attached to a metal vacuum chamber and a rotating stage to allow evenly distributed films on a stage size over 100mm.
Default material is Pt/Pd 80/20 alloy, which is appropriate for nearly all applications. This tool also has a planetary rotate and tilt stage for high-topography samples.
