Abstract
The Countless Possibilities of Confocal Microscopy
This webinar discusses the basic principles of confocal microscopy and history. The large variety of applications addressed by Laser Scanning Microscopes is addressed including multicolor imaging, FRAP, FCS, FLIM, etc. Software options for reproducible and automated data acquisition and processing are also discussed.
Key Learnings:
- What factors contribute to sensitive quantitative confocal microscopy
- Experimental capabilities beyond pure imaging
- How software can automate data acquisition and analysis
