Microscopes
- All microscopes can be booked online according to our general rules.
- Before using the SP5 confocal for simple fixed cell experiments consider using one of several standard confocal or wide-field microscopes available on the campus (information).
- The SP5 confocal microscope should never be used for optimisation of staining procedures etc.; this should always be done on standard epifluorescence microscopes.
- Why do we have to pay fees?
- Fees are required to cover expected costs for laser replacement, repairs and consumables (CO2, immersion media, etc.).
- Fees are subject to observation and revision by the advisory board
- We aim at keeping fees low, this is, however, dependant on the financial support of the facility by the MUI.
