Location: MRC Building, Room 1.20B
A Bio-Rad Radiance confocal microscope mounted on a Nikon E800 manual microscope stand. The upright microscope is useful for imaging slides or specimens that must be imaged in open chambers. Three lasers with six laser lines: 458, 476, 488, 514 (argon laser); 543 (green HeNe) and 637 (red diode) - Note: There is no 405 laser. Three high sensitivity GaAsP detectors for scanning poorly fluorescent specimens or imaging at low laser powers. Optional water dipping lenses for imaging specimens in open vessels or at long working distances. Optional heated stage adapter (no CO2). FRAP and other photo-stimulation experiments are possible
...
Use this microscope for scanning slides or for specimens that can only be imaged in open chambers in aqueous media (e.g. tissue, pupae/embryos, fish) or that require a longer working distance (the water dipping lenses have working distances in the order of 2 mm. Live cells can be imaged if the imaging chamber can be inverted so the cells are upside down. There is a heated stage adapter for this purpose.
