Laboratory of Molecular Ecology and Mycology (MEM) – List of devices

Microscopy

We have available several light microscopes which supports advanced light-microscopy techniques (immersion microscopy, contrasts, etc.) and enables various imaging and visualisation of the observed elements.

Olympus  XY – light microscope with camera XY, measuring software XY and camera lucida with adjustable projection scale

Carl Zeiss Jena – light microscope with camera XY, measuring software XY and connected dataprojector for real-time projection of the observed elements

Carl Zeiss Jena – – light microscope with camera XY, measuring software XY

Cultivation room

Room equipped with incubators, fridges (+4°C) and Lamina Box XY grade for aseptic cultivations of the broad scale of the organisms.
