Our expertise
- Confocal laser scanning microscopy (multichannel fluorescence, 3D reconstruction, surface profiling, dynamical measurements of changes in ion concentrations and production of free radicals).
- Experimental models of neurodegenerative diseases (in vivo – transgenic and pharmacologically treated animals; in vitro – making and maintaining cell cultures and cell lines)
- Cell electrophysiology with possibility for simultaneous dynamical measurements of changes of intracellular ion concentrations.
- Organization of scientific courses, workshops, and schools as well as popular scientific events (e.g. Brain Awareness Week and Science Fair).
Services
To our clients we offer:
- equipment and expertize rent in the field of confocal and dynamic microscopy (daily, weekly, monthly and yearly renting)
- short microscopy courses
- collaborations in the field of experimental biomedical neurology (ALS, Multiple Sclerosis, Acheimer’s disease, cerebral ischemia etc.)
- research in the field of experimental therapy
The Centre for Laser Microscopy offers it’s clients many possibilities for renting the equipment and obtaining help from the Centre’s staff i.e.
- long-term contracts (time sharing) or single session agreements,
- independent work or work with the help of CLM staff,
- the possibility of sending your samples to be scanned and analysed.
Time sharing in the laboratory of the Centre for Laser Microscopy
Following the experience from other European laboratories with similar equipment, leasing the free hours can be done via three tariff systems*.
The most favourable variant for scientific institutions, institutes, pharmaceutical and food industries and other related institutions is an annual lease. A minimal block is two (2) hours per week.
Single session confocal laboratory rent of minimum two hours per week in all three tariffs is also available.
The services may include brief training or assistance during work on the confocal microscopy stage.
