PSB microscopy

To support live cell imaging of diverse plant tissues, PSB maintains a diverse set of microscopes that are freely available to all researchers working in the center.

Imaging capacities at PSB range from standard light microscopy, epifluorescence high-content systems to spinning disk imaging, point-scanning confocal and fluorescence life time imaging.

PSB researchers are also actively involved in generating tools to allow real-time visualization of plants under conditions that disturb specific processes. Examples are the use of microfluidics setups to monitor the effect of chemical compounds as well as the effect of altered temperature, on cellular dynamics.
