Multiphoton confocal microscope

Developments in advanced light microscopy have revolutionised modern molecular and cellular biology. Increased image quality and versatility of confocal microscopes and a rapidly-expanding range of fluorescent markers provide new and exciting opportunities to determine molecular localisations, interactions and functions not only in fixed samples but also in living cells. The proposed multiphoton confocal microscope equipped with a fast resonant scanner will facilitate a wide range of cutting-edge research in plant and animal bioscience in Canberra and contribute significantly to research projects aimed at increasing our understanding of the role of proteins and other molecules in plant and animal development and disease.
