Abstract

We are requesting a fluorescence microscope with structured illumination for three-dimensional analysis of the images captured (images of sections from organs or tissues). The equipment is state-of-the-art and will provide us with the image analysis capability and technical sophistication generated through hybridization and immunofixation protocols, thereby promoting the expansion of knowledge and sparking the process of innovation in molecular biology and biotechnology.
