Tenders Are Invited For Electron Microscopes – Konfokales Laser-Scanning Mikroskop Neurology Of Ukw in Germany

Work Detail

Electron Microscopes – Konfokales Laser-Scanning Mikroskop Neurology Of Ukw. The New Inverted Confocal Microscope Will Be Used For High-Resolution Localization Studies, Ca2+ Imaging, And Time-Lapse Microscopy (Multicolor), Local Translation And Transport Studies. It Replaces The Now Outdated Microscope From 2010 And Is Essential For The Research Of The Various Working Groups At The Institute Of Neurobiology And Their Collaborations With The Neurology And Ent Clinic. The Focus Of The Research Is The Cellular And Molecular Mechanisms Of Motor Neuron Diseases, As Well As Other Neurological Diseases With Impaired Motor Function, The Pathologies Of Autoantibodies In The Nervous System, Neuronal Circuits That Underlie Network Diseases And The Development Of 3D Tissue Culture Models For Diseases Of The Nervous System. The Ukw Also Needs Confocal Microscopy For Its Research Projects On Cellular Immunotherapies. Confocal Microscopy Is One Of The Essential Standard Techniques Of The Working Groups Involved And Is Used Intensively. The Areas Of Application Range From The Visual Reconstruction Of Cellular And Subcellular Neuronal Structures, The Tracking Of Axonal And Dendritic Connections, The (Co)Localization Of Molecular Marker Proteins With Superresolution, To Live Cell Imaging Of Growing Motor Neurons And Proliferating Tumor Cells. An Integrated Incubation Chamber Is Required For This. In Addition, Confocal Microscopy Is Used For Physiological Measurement Methods Such As Parallel Er-Cytosol Calcium Imaging. Due To The Intensive Use And Imaging Of Living, Very Transport-Sensitive Cells, The Researchers Need Direct Access To The System On Site. Bachelors And Masters Students In The Translational Neuroscience, Biomedicine, Medicine And Psychology Courses Must Be Trained In Confocal Microscopy As Part Of Their Research Projects And Collect Confocal Image Data In Their Scientific Projects.
