The opening of the confocal imaging facility is organized at Ruder Boskovic Institute in Zagreb in Februady 27, 2014. The meeting consists of lectures focused on the current advanced methods in confocal microscopy nowdays, and application lectures. In the afternoon, there will be introduced the best microscope worldwide for the advanced image acquisition, live cells imaging and spectral based FLIM – Leica TCS SP8 X SMD.
The confocal imaging facility is equipped with newly installed Leica TCS SP8 X SMD and Leica TCS SP2 AOBS confocal laser scanning microscopes. Leica TCS SP8 X SMD is equipped with:
– pulsed White Light Laser with full tunability in 1 nm step size in the spectrum 470-670 nm
– tandem scanner consisting of FOV scanner with maximum file format 64 MPx, and the fastest scanner worldwide with 40 fps at 512×512 pxls in several spectral detectors
– combination of PMT, FLIM-PMT and HyD spectral detectors for and ideal optimalization of experimental setup
– PicoQuant detection for two channel spectral detection of FLIM
