Laboratory Instrumentation by Need

I need to perform...

• Real color imaging of fixed, visibly-stained specimens mounted on microscope slides (e.g., cells, pathology): Nikon Eclipse Ti2-E with Motic 10 camera
• Surface imaging of opaque specimens (e.g., metals, crystals): Nikon Eclipse Ti2-E
• Differential interference contrast (DIC) (a.k.a., Nomarski) imaging of transparent specimens (e.g., cells): Nikon Eclipse Ti2-E
• Fluorescence imaging of specimens with very weak fluorescence: Nikon Eclipse Ti2-E with Andor iXon Life EMCCD camera
• Rapid (30 frames per second or faster) imaging of specimens without or with fluorescence: Nikon Eclipse Ti2-E with Andor iXon Life EMCC camera
• Microscopic imaging by scanning over large areas (multiple square cm) without or with fluorescence: Nikon Eclipse Ti2-E with Andor iXon Life EMCCD camera or C2+ CLSU and Motorized XY Control
• 3D imaging (Z-stacks) of fluorescent transparent specimens: Nikon Eclipse Ti2-E with C2+ CLSU
