Confocal microscope mounted on a motorised inverted IX81 which includes the following lenses: 10x, 20x, 40x (oil), 60x (oil), 60x (water). This equipment’s excitation lines are: 405nm, 488nm, 515nm, 559nm, 594nm y 635nm. Moreover, the equipment has an incubation system, which makes it the appropriate equipment for live-cell work.
Multiphoton confocal microscope mounted on a motorised BX61WI upright microscope equipped with a XPLN25xWMP water immersion lens exclusive to multiphoton microscopy, with a numerical aperture of 1.05 and a working distance of 2mm. It has a Mai-Tai HP DeepSee pulsed tunable laser (Spectra Physics) in the 690 to 1040nm range with an average power of 2.0 W. The infrared element of this laser allows for further penetration in the sample and causes less cell damage. The signal is picked up by four detectors covering the whole visible range (420-500/515-580/590-650/660-740).
Fully motorised standard confocal equipment allowing for programmed acquisitions on several predefined areas. It has a dry 10x (NA 0,4) lens and a 60x (NA 1,2) water immersion one. The excitation lines are: 405nm, 473nm, 559nm y 635nm. This equipment is suited for live-cell experiments as it includes an incubator with temperature control.
Scanning electron microscope with field emission gun (FEG) and a resolution of 1.4 nm to 1 kV.
200kV field emission transmission electron microscope (FEG) with a resolution (Point Resolution) of 0.24nm. It’s equipped with a CCD GATAN camera and “Digital Micrograph”, a Software for image acquisition and treatment. This equipment allows to make HRTEM images, electron diffraction patterns and spectroscopic techniques such as EDS and Mapping. It also includes a “Double-Tilt” sample holder, which allows for a complete sample orientation.
High content screening analysis equipment via automatic image capture for the study of live or fixed cell cultures, in plates or slides. It includes four long-distance lens: 4x, 10x, 20x y 40x. It also includes an incubator with temperature control and an automatic reagent dispenser.
The ORION NanoFab is an ion microscope designed for the fabrication of nanostructures less than 10 nm using a helium beam. The neon beam allows for an increased the rate of nanostructure formation, thus improving efficiency and performance. The ORION is also capable of acquiring images with a resolution of up to 0.5 nm.
Super-resolution confocal microscope LCS 980 has the following objectives: 10x, 20x, 25x (oil), 40x (water) and 63x (oil), 60x. The excitation lines present in this equipment are: 405nm, 488nm, 561nm and 639nm. This equipment also has an incubation system, which makes it suitable for working with live cells. This equipment incorporates the Airyscan 2 and Elyra 7 super-resolution systems.
