Microscopes in use and development
The lab makes use of and develops microscopes for use in single-molecule biophysics. Currently, we make use of integrated force-fluorescence microscopes commercialised by Lumicks (C-trap, Q-trap) of a commercial TIRF microscope (Nikon) and a homebuilt TIRF microscope based on micro mirror technology commercialised by Mad City Labs, as well as various homebuilt magnetic tweezers. Together with the Smith lab (TU Delft), we are also developing new instrumentation modules.
