Imaging

What this lab helps me to achieve

• image your cells, tissues, or any solid samples (rocks, plants, bacteria, ...)
• observe cell processes occuring in live cells
• compare expression of surface or intracellular molecules
• quantify and compare fluorescence of cells or substances
• quantify absorbance of cells or substances
• quantify luminescence of cells or substances
