Shared Facilities :: Confocal Fluorescence Microscopy

Central Analyitical Facility @ University of Alabama

| Electron Microscopy | Spectroscopy | Image Analysis and Processing | Atom probe | Electron Microprobe | Focused Ion Beam | Low Energy Electron Microscope | UHV STEM |

During the past four years, UA has installed over $5M of new instrumentation in UA’s CAF. These instruments were obtained through NSF-sponsored Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) awards in 2003, 2004 and 2007 as well as internal investments at UA. The CAF is a general user facility managed by Dr. Mike Bersch (director), Dr. Mohammed Shamsuzzoha […]

Integrated Microscopy Facilities @ Cornell University

| Electron Microscopy | Surface Preparation/ Characterization | Thin Film Fabrication and Characterization | Materials Processing/ Preparation | Spectroscopy | Polymer Synthesis/ Characterization | Optical Microscopy | Image Analysis and Processing | Crystal Growth | Crystallography | Electron Microprobe | Environmental Scanning Electron Microscopy | Focused Ion Beam | Powder Synthesis and Characterization | UHV STEM |

The Integrated Microscopy Facility provides a variety of electron and optical microscopes for imaging small features and for microanalysis of the elemental composition of materials. The facility is operated by three expert managers who have many years of combined experience in advanced microscopy.
Instruments in this facility include:
Leica 440 SEM: 4.5 nm resolution at 30KV. […]

Microfluidics Facility @ University of Chicago

| Optical Microscopy |

Our Microfluidics Facility has been completed. Recent work included renovation of the room, purchase of a Leica motorized fluorescent microscope with Metamorph control and analysis station, and acquisition of pumping equipment. A station for measurements of surface tensions at liquid-liquid interfaces has been designed and built. The microfluidics facility now includes equipment dedicated to characterization and operation of microfluidic channels and networks. This includes equipment for measuring fluid viscosities, liquid/liquid and liquid/surface interfacial energies, as well as set-ups for pressure-driven fluid pumping. Quantitative fluorescence optical measurements of millisecond kinetics on microfluidic chips are possible with a high-numerical aperture compound microscope. A fluorescent stereomicroscope for slower sub-second kinetics, and for evaluation of protein assays is also available.
