The following equipment and supplies are available for use by NIEHS scientists in conducting their research. The equipment and supply capabilities are listed for easy reference.
INVERTED MICROSCOPE
Olympus inverted microscope
Conventional (non-confocal) microscope with:
Fluorescence filter sets for DAPI, CFP, GFP, YFP, RFP, Cy5
Objective lenses from 1x to 60x oil immersion
High resolution color digital camera
Special applications: quickly check cells for fluorescence; take a picture when confocal is not needed
PHOTO-QUALITY PRINTER
MINI-INCUBATOR WITH TEMPERATURE AND CO2 CONTROL
Photo-quality Printer
Inkjet printer, letter size prints, when you need better quality than what your color laser printer provides. The center also has a b/w laser printer which you should use when you don’t need color output.
*Restrictions: the Canon i960 printer is connected on the network from Windows clients only
Mini-incubator with temperature and CO2 control
Keep cells happy while they are waiting in the queue for the microscope.
*Restrictions: for temporary use only while using the other equipment in the FMIC
