As an appropriate ECM substrate for cancer cell migration, we use nonpepsinized rat tail collagen I polymerized at room - temperature and fluorescently labeled to facilitate visualization using
standard confocal microscopes.
The researchers use
standard confocal microscopy to zero in on the constant, jiggling motions of a cell's particles — telltale movements that can be used to decipher a cell's stiffness.

In his early career he was also an influential inventor, creating the first
confocal scanning microscope, a version of which is now
standard in labs worldwide.
It is difficult enough for the microscopy experts to keep up, but even more challenging for the average biologist, particularly when they are looking for more from their data than a
standard or
confocal microscope can offer.
Not only we offer
confocal Z - sectioning allowing 3D reconstruction, but also the RCM has an increased sensitivity because of our scientific CMOS based detector and on top of that we achieve
standard 170nm optical resolution (40 % better compared to regular
confocal microscopes).
We work across disciplines and use a variety of techniques including microfluidics,
standard microscopies (electron, optical, fluorescence,
confocal), spectroscopies (fluorescence, UV, CD), scattering techniques (X-ray, light), protein expression and characterization and cell - free gene expression to investigate the utility of coacervate microdroplets as robust reaction compartments and cellular mimics.
