Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń
The station allows microscopic imaging of biological samples using transmitted light, dark field contrast, fluorescence contrast (DAPI, FITC, TRITC, Cy5 markers) and total internal reflection (TIRF – Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence). In the future, the station will also enable Quantitative Phase Imaging (QPI) and photothermal contrast imaging (e.g. for markers made of metallic nanoparticles) with the use of optical phase-sensitive detection.
