Microscope: Zeiss LSM 5 PASCALOur light microscopy system acquires images in defined optical sections of the material sample by means of a laser beam in a confocal path, and assembles them into a three-dimensional image stack. Our microscope is placed in a laminar flow clean box which offers a filtered airflow across work area and allows investigations in a dust and contamination reduced environment. With the use of laser light one optically resolves lateral structures down to 300nm. Furthermore, it allows the detection and measurement of height differences from about 20nm to the order of millimeters. In the transmission mode one may realize for the biology and medicine typical contrast procedures as the Differential Interference Contrast (DIC). The overlapping with a confocal fluorescence picture of the same test place is also possible.
