Biological Imaging Service—Zeiss PALM Laser Capture Microdissection System

Biological imaging is an important research tool for understanding tissue structure and elucidating the various physiological functions of living organisms. It uses light or electron microscopy to obtain direct images of the microstructure of biological cells and tissues, and the resulting images are analyzed to understand the various physiological processes of biological cells. CD BioSciences' Bioimaging Centre has dozens of devices and, more importantly, our expertise and experience are invaluable to the industries and clients we serve. We can provide Zeiss PALM Laser Capture Microdissection System-based bioimaging services.

Name of the Instrument/Platform

Zeiss PALM Laser Capture Microdissection System

MANUFACTURER:
Zeiss

Introduction

The pressure catapulting mechanism eliminates heating of thermoplastic film. Specimen are usually mounted on a poly ethylene naphthalate (PEN) or polyethylene tetraphthalate (PET) membrane. This system is also able to dissect tissue mounted glass slides coated with a PEN membrane. It is capable of cutting sections up to 200 µm thick with 2-3 µm precision. This allows for live cell imaging and microdissection of subcellular structures.

Summary

The PALM system uses a unique combination of a high-precision microdissection laser and a catapulting pulse of defocused laser to effectively transport the specimen of the obejct plane into a collection device.

In recent years, with the development of optical imaging technology, especially the introduction of digital imaging and computer image analysis, bioimaging has become an indispensable method in cell biology research. CD BioSciences' bioimaging laboratory is committed to providing state-of-the-art technical support to our customers. If you are interested, please do not hesitate to contact us.
