Microscope Imaging Service—Leica AS-LMD Laser Microdissection Microscope

Confocal microscopy is an optical imaging technique that uses point-by-point illumination and spatial pinhole modulation to remove scattered light from the non-focal plane of the sample, allowing for improved optical resolution and visual contrast compared to traditional imaging methods. CD BioSciences, the imaging experts, can provide you with Leica AS-LMD Laser Microdissection Microscope-based confocal microscopy imaging services.

Introduction

Laser Microdissection (LMD) is a technique used by researchers for contamination free isolation of pure cell populations in preparation for PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) and RT-PCR.
It is useful for investigations related to DNA, RNA, protein analysis, metaphase chromosomes and living cells. LMD can also be used to isolate subpopulations of cells for embedment in resin and subsequent ultrastructural examination under the Transmission Electron Microscope. It uses a focused laser beam as a cutting tool under direct microscopic visualisation. The excised material is then accessible for further analysis.

Required Training

LEICA - AS LMD offers a powerful tool for contamination free isolation of single cells or cell groups in preparation for PCR, RT-PCR and Proteomics etc.
Leica AS-LMD (Laser Microdissection Microscope) combines automated upright microscope architecture, 3D optical control of the laser beam and non-contact sample collection by gravity.

CD BioSciences' Leica AS-LMD Laser Microdissection Microscope-based confocal microscopy service is an ideal partner for cutting-edge biomedical research, providing precise 3D imaging, as well as accurate imaging of cell structure and dynamic processes, all in one package.
