Super-resolution microscope to advance biomedical research at SFU
Peak Web January 28, 2019Written by: Henry Tran, Coordinating News Editor After buying the right microscope, SFU scientists can now get a much closer look at what’s happening inside a live cell. In Fall 2018, scientists from SFU’s Centre for Cell Biology, Development and Disease (C2D2) gained access to a novel $750,000 super-resolution microscope, the Zeiss AiryScan. This system lets them visualize the complex processes that occur within living cells. C2D2 is a network of researchers at SFU who are performing cutting-edge biomedical research. Ever since the 2014 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to a group of researchers who invented the “super-resolution fluorescence microscopy,” super-resolution microscopes are becoming more…
