description
The University of Edinburgh is looking to procure a Spinning Disc Confocal Microscope System to be housed on the ground floor of the Chancellor’s Building.
The main purpose of this system is for high through-put 3D high resolution imaging of large, fixed specimens and for high-speed 4D imaging of live specimens. The system will be available to a number of researchers and groups, and as such should be ready-to-use and easy to set up prior to imaging.
We aim to apply the spinning disc confocal microscope for rapid, high-resolution imaging of synapses (average size 0.2-0.5 µm), known to be altered in neurodevelopmental disorders. Our primary goal is systematically imaging synaptic proteins across the entire rodent brain, with ideal laterally and axially high resolution at subcellular level (via high magnification/high NA lens combined with potential post-objective magnification).
