Plant Tissue Imaging
Multicellular systems (e.g. the roots or the leaves of plants) can be imaged with our microscopes.
Our equipment
-
Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy (CLSM)
Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) allows 3D localization of labelled target molecules in cells and food samples. -
FRET-FLIM (Förster resonance energy transfer by fluorescence lifetime imaging)
To image FRET between proteins in root cells, the Leica SP5 CLSM is equipped with fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM).

Multiphoton microscopy with fluorescence lifetime imaging
Multiphoton microscopy is combined with lifetime imaging to measure FRET in plant leaves, or measure the ultrafast dynamics of photosynthesis in...
