Cellular Imaging (Burkhard Wiesner)
Research
The central point of our group is the establishment of the different single cell techniques and the application of the most diverse microscopic methods for the description of the cellular signal transduction. Microscopic methods such as FRET (Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer) or FRAP (Fluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching) are quite located in the center, in addition, we examine the use of more differently caging compounds in connection with intracellular Ca2+ measurements under the aspect of the UV- and/or IR-irradiation for the process of uncaging.
The facility offers a range of conventional and advanced light and electron microscopic methods as well as electrophysiology to all interested research groups in the institute. The group is available for all types of collaboration including advice in preparation techniques, and the processing of common research projects.
