What is Confocal Microscopy?

Visit Zeiss or Olympus for great confocal tutorials.
Projected and Stereoscopic Images

How to make pictures and movies with depth!
Large Area Imaging

How to use the automated stage to make tiled images.
Protein 'Co-Localization' (within 200nm)

How to show two fluorescently labeled proteins are 'co-localized.'
Protein Co-Localization (within 5 to 10 nm)

Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) techniques yield information about functional distances between two proteins.
Fluorescence Spectra Generation
Generate emission spectra for individual fluorophores which can be used for separation of overlapping.

Quantitative Fluorescence

Quantification of observed differences in fluorescence intensity.
Physiology Experiments

Redox imaging of living cells.

Magnesium Green measurement of changes in ATP concentration in living cells.

Multiple probes can measure the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in living cells. These probes are fluorescent only when oxidized and are sensitive to a wide variety of ROS. LeAnn Tiede, Creighton University Dept. of Biomedical Sciences.
