The superiority of laser confocal microscopy in biology
Compared with the traditional optical microscope, laser confocal microscope has higher resolution, multiple fluorescence can be observed at the same time and can form a clear three-dimensional image and other advantages, in the observation of biological samples, laser confocal microscope has the following advantages:
1,Continuous scanning of living cell tissues or cell slices can obtain fine three-dimensional images of cytoskeleton, chromosomes, organelles and cell membrane systems.
2,It can get higher contrast and high resolution image than ordinary fluorescence microscope, meanwhile, it has high sensitivity and outstanding sample protection.
3,Multi-dimensional image acquisition. Such as 7-dimensional images (XYZaλIt): xyt , xzt and xt scanning, time series scanning, rotational scanning, regional scanning, spectral scanning, while facilitating image processing.
4, Intracellular ion fluorescence labelling. Single or multiple labelling, detection of intracellular ions such as PH and sodium, calcium, magnesium and other ions concentration ratio measurement and dynamic changes.
5,Fluorescence labelling. Probe labelled live cells or sliced specimens of living cells biological substances, membrane markers, substances, reactions, receptors or ligands, nucleic acids and other observations; can be in the same sample at the same time for multiple substances labelled and observed at the same time.
6, no damage to cell detection, safe, reliable and excellent repeatability; data images can be output in time or long-term storage.
