Neuroscience Microscopy Service (NMS)
The NMS provides access to high-end, capital-intensive microscopy equipment that is often not available to individual labs. Our facility is located in brand-new quarters in the basement of the Lorry Lokey Stem Cell Building (SIM1), suite G0901. Take the elevator to the basement, then take your first two rights. Available equipment includes:
- two two-photon microscopes:
- an in vivo rig, and
- a slice rig;
- confocal microscopy with time-lapse and spectral unmixing capability, and
- conventional widefield fluorescence microscopy.
One-on-one training is provided for all equipment. Contact us for more information. We offer offline image analysis with a high-powered computer workstation with Imaris, Fiji, Zen, and Matlab image analysis software. NMS provides a file server for transfering image files from our data acquisition or image analysis computers back to your lab computer.
TEM and SEM imaging can be provided through the Cell Sciences Imaging Facility (Beckman B050).
