KCBD 1250 and Abbott 129

11-06-09
CRI's Nuance multispectral imaging system will be demonstrated in KCBD, 900 E. 57th Street. The system enables users to quantitate molecular markers even when they are co-localized in a single tissue section. Ruba Sarris will give a presentation from Noon to 1PM in the Conference Room 1280, and she will demonstrate the system from 1 to 3PM in the Microscopy Facility, Room 1250. If you have samples, please contact her at rsarris@cri-inc.com. For more Info.

01-26-2009 Upgrades to existing microscopes

The Integrated Microscopy Facility recently completed upgrades to two of our existing microscopes.  The Olympus Fluoview laser scanning confocal was upgraded to a DSU spinning disk confocal running SlideBook software.  This microscope can now image all fluorophores from DAPI (blue) to Cy5 (far red) plus DIC in either widefield or confocal mode.  With the 1.37 mega pixel Hamamatsu CCD digital camera and high NA, oil immersion objectives, this microscope is optimized for high-resolution imaging of fixed samples. 
    

The Olympus live cell / total internal reflection (TIRF) microscope is now housed on the IX70 microscope platform. It uses automated excitation and emission filter changers, an emission image splitter, and has a manual 4-position fluorescence filter turret and DIC optics.  This microscope runs user-friendly MetaMorph software controlling a Retiga EXi digital chilled CCD camera for high resolution images of fixed or live cells.
