New Confocal microscope installed at the Instrumentation and Service Center of the Life Sciences Faculty (IDRFU)
ZABAM Life Sciences completed recently the reception of a new confocal microscope LEICA SP8.
The possibility to working on it will be given to certified persons with a permit to work independently. There is also an option to work with Alex.
For your questions and registration please contact Alex at 6006 or via Email abarbul@tauex.tau.ac.il .
To organize the training groups effectively, please indicate your level of knowledge in microscopy, the nature of your samples, urgency, preferred training language, mobile / lab number.
The training is free, but your laboratory will be charged for using the microscope. Please make sure you have a registered user name and password for ZABAM Life Sciences
Good luck,
