Confocal Microscopy is a specialized form of fluorescent microscopy that uses particular optical components to generate high-resolution images of the material stained with a fluorescent probe. The main advantage of Confocal Microscopy is gathering quantitative data such as thickness, area and volume of cellular structure and promises to provide 3-D volume rendering of living cells and tissue over time.
This important facility was established at Advanced Centre for Plant Virology (Plant Virology Unit), IARIin 2012 under ICAR-Outreach Programme.
 
Model: Leica TCS SP52
 
Uses:
It is used in studying the physiology of host-pathogen interaction by
  • Localization of proteins
  • Characterization of structural proteins
  • Characterization of fungal spores
  • Live/dead cell counts
  • Monitoring of virus infection in host and vector cells
 
Advantages:
  • High-resolution blur-free images with enhanced picture quality with 3-D structures of living cells and tissues
  • High depth of focus extended focus images without special object preparation
  • Concurrent analysis of surface and internal structures
  • Enables the examination of both living and fixed specimens under a variety of condition
 
More than 2000 samples including, viruses, fungi bacteria, and various plant samples (root/shoot/leaf/other plant parts) processed to date.
