About

Newcastle University awarded a contract to Carl Zeiss Ltd for the supply and installation of three advanced microscopy systems: a live-cell confocal microscope, a multi-photon microscope, and a high-content imaging system.

The live-cell confocal microscope is intended for time-lapse imaging of developing mammalian oocytes and early-stage embryos, with near super-resolution and live-cell capability.

The multi-photon microscope will enable deep in vivo imaging of rodent tissues, interfacing with an existing Coherent Discovery laser.

The high-content imaging system will automate fluorescence microscopy on live and fixed plates and slides, including mitochondrial morphology analysis and brightfield/fluorescence slide imaging with a robotic plate loader.

The contract value is AUD 1,032,731.
