We have developed innovative microscopy technologies to analyze plant cell function, and advanced collaborative researches that involve the use of high-resolution microscopy.
1 Maintenance of and technical support for using high-resolution microscopes and related instruments for internal and external researchers using high-resolution microscopes.
2 Collaborative researches using high-resolution microscopy.
3 Cell biological analysis of secretory pathways and the mechanism of vacuole formation in plant cells.
4 Construction of multi-scale mapping system of plant tissues and cells prepared by high pressure freezing and TEM techniques.
5 Development and improvement of correlative light and electron microscopy, array tomography for 3D construction.
6 Technology development on the sample preparation for scanning and transmission electron microscopy, especially the cryo-ultrathin sectioning and high pressure freezing techniques for microscope analyses plant materials.
7 Improvement of the cryo-film sectioning techniques for the imaging mass spectrometry analyses for plant materials.
