Greetings
My name is Sarah Al Jufaili from the Sultanate of Oman.
I am a PhD student working on aquatic parasites of Omani fish.
I would like to inquire about whether you do international Confocal
Microscopy services.
I would like to send specimens of some detected parasites to study them
using confocal microscopy in preparation for my PhD thesis.
The parasites which i would like to analyze are from the class Monogenea.
they are small (1-2mm long), very flat and transparent. I have worked
with a research group before using Confocal Micrscope on monogenea and
this is how they did it " using alchohol fixed samples, rinsed in DW for
24hrs, transfer to 40 mM chromotrope 2R+ 3 mM phosphotungstic acid +
0.5% acetic acid for 4 hrs at room temperature or (0.2U ul-1 methanol)
Alexa Fluor 594 phalloidin in 100 ul DW for 5 hrs. Their confocal isnt
working at the moment that is why i am seeking another exist. i would like
to obtain images of the MCO ( Male copulatory organ )which is a complex
hard structure (sclerotized) used for reproduction and Vaginal vestibule. I
would like to obtain 3D images of these structures as it is important to
understand the morphology and function of these structures.
