Confocal Microscopy 

Sample: Muscle cross section 

Instrument: ZEISS LSM780 CONFOCAL 

The confocal microscope can be used for multi-colour fluorescence imaging. This is an image of a cross-section through a muscle biopsy, showing fast and slow twitch fibres (green), nuclei (blue) on the perimeter of each fibre and a few sparse satellite cells (pink). ​
