CLSM

The Imaging and Cell Culture Laboratory (iCELL) is a service laboratory of the Central Instrumentation Facility under the Office of the Vice-Chancellor for Research and Innovation. One of the instruments that the laboratory operates is the Leica TCS SP8X Confocal Laser Scanning Microscope with Live Cell Imaging System. The instrument is located in Room GT305 Dr. George S.K. Ty Central Instrumentation Facility at DLSU Laguna Campus in Binan, Laguna. Photo above is Dr. Marie Delos Reyes (left), Chair of the Department of Biology, and Dr. Ma. Luisa Enriquez (right), Faculty Consultant for iCELL with the Leica TCS SP8X Confocal Laser Scanning Microscope.

The facility will offer Imaging Services using CLSM and will accept samples not only from DLSU researchers but also from outside clients (academe, government, and industry) .
