The mission of the Microscopy Core Facility is to assist researchers and students in their imaging needs of fluorescence and electron microscopy; and to increase the use of microscopes in science education.
The facility currently has one Transmission Electron Microscope (Hitachi-7000), equipped with a 4K by 4k digital camera, one Laser Scanning Confocal Microscope (Leica TCS-SP2) and one epi-fluorescence microscope equipped with a low light sensitive digital camera. The facility added a Raman Microscope [details] and one Tabletop Scanning Electron Microscope [detail] recently. Please check the equipment page for a complete list of the equipment.
Contact Dr. Zhaojie Zhang, director of the facility for using the facility. Consultation, training or touring the facility is also available by appointment.
Questions, comments or complains should be sent to Dr. Zhang, or to the advisory committee.
Funding for the Microscopy Core Facility has been provided by the National Institutes of Health, Institute for Research Resources and grant P20 RR15640 to the Neuroscience Center of Biomedical research Excellence, and NIH Grant # P20 RR016474 from the INBRE Program of the National Center for Research Resources.
