The faculty has recently acquired an Olympus 3 Laser Scanning Confocal Microscope.  This microscope has the ability of optically sectioning biological specimens, obtaining flourescent images, and doing 3D reconstruction.  The microscope has 4 channels.  This microscope also has DIC and transmitted light detection capability.  The images are stored digitally and can be manipulated using a separate workstation which is provided without cost to all registered users.
