Abstract

Laser scanning confocal microscopy is a cellular biomedical analysis instrument used for fluorescence observation, and it has been widely used in many fields of biomedical research. Article in Guangdong medical university scientific research platform management service center of the existing German leica TCS-SP8 laser confocal microscope (hereinafter referred to as SP8), for example, combined with the entire school teachers and students in the actual situation of the daily training and operation process, summarizes the instrument in the use of common problems and solutions, provide standardized for the instrument users operation ideas.
