The Zeiss Axiovert 200M is a modern, motorized, general-purpose inverted microscope suitable for most non-confocal imaging applications. The system includes a digital camera and Axiovision software. It also includes the Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence (TIRF) hardware package from Zeiss, including a multi-line 100mW Lasos 77 Series laser that enables very high-resolution imaging of signals near biological membranes. This is a relatively new imaging modality that is likely to become widely used in both cell biology and neuroscience research applications. The TIRF system is located in the Neuroscience Imaging Center, room E632c. For additional information and training, contact Maryanne Pendergast at 368-2575.
