The section of Molecular Cytology houses a variety of advanced light microscope setups that can be used by people from other institutes or industry. The microscopy facilities have been organised into the van Leeuwenhoek Centre for Advanced Microscopy (LCAM). In addition the section is equipped with many faclities to grow, manipulate and measure cells (from bacteria to animal cells) and equipment for molecular biological and  biochemical work.     Microscopes: Applications:     Andor spinning disk microscope High speed confocal imaging, FRAP and TIRF     FLIM microscope FLIM, High speed confocal imaging and TIRF     Leica Stereomicroscope Low magnification widefield imaging     Nikon C1 confocal microscope Confocal imaging and CLEM     Nikon A1 confocal microscope High speed confocal imaging, FRAP, CLEM and spectral unmixing     Ramascope Raman microscope     Widefield CLEM microscope Widefield imaging, CLEM     Olympus/Picoquant FLCCS microscope Confocal FLIM, FCS and FLCCS     Upright spinning disk microscope High speed (confocal) imaging     Zeiss LSM 510 confocal microscope Confocal imaging, FRAP     Zeiss Cell observer Widefield imaging     The microscopes can be booked by trained users only, displayed in the webcalenders (click here)     Other equipment:         Biotek Synergy Mx multiwell plate reader Fluorescence reader for multiwell plates     Biochrome Libra Spectrophotometer Absorbance measurements for cuvettes     Olympus BX microscope Widefield imaging     PTI Fluorimeter Fluorescence and anisotropy measurements in cuvettes     (Old) Platereader FL600 Fluorescence reader for multiwell plates     These latter machines can be booked by the users themselves using the webcalenders (for viewing the agenda's only, follow the links above):       Go to the gmail website       Login using the username and password (for access contact Ronald Breedijk, +7860)       Go to the agenda (button left top),       Click on the date/time you want to book and fill in your reservation (your name and instrument to be booked).
