About Confocal MicroscopyVirtual Lab Simulation
Are you tired of blurry fluorescent microscope images and do you want to move to the next level? In the Confocal Microscopy simulation, you will learn about the benefits of using a confocal microscope over other optical imaging techniques. You’ll get to take a closer look at the setup of this type of microscope and learn how to operate it.
Identify the plant disease
Your overall task will be to investigate a mysterious plant disease found at your uncle’s farm. You’ll make a visit to the farm and take an infected barley sample back to the lab where you canl take a closer look at the specimen by using confocal microscopy.
看显微镜
In the Confocal Microscopy lab, you’ll be able to look inside a confocal microscope. Follow the lightpath along the mirrors and through the pinhole, and you’ll soon learn how the powerful light of a laser is used to scan a sample of a single layer. See how the pinhole contributes to the formation of razor-sharp fluorescent images.
Analyze the 3D structure
共聚焦显微镜实验室中的最后任务是选择最佳的曝光和扫描线速度,以获取最佳的染色作物样品的荧光图像。最后,您将拍摄一堆共聚焦图像来创建3D渲染,以帮助您调查感染叔叔大麦的原因。
Are you ready to identify the plant disease and give your uncle advice on a potential treatment to save his crops?
