Light Microscopy
| Microscopes | |
| Flexible transmission/fluorescence photomicroscope | |
| This ergonomically designed instrument is capable of standard bright and dark field, phase contrast, fluorescence, and other common modes of microscopy. It is equipped with digital imaging systems to document both bright field and dim fluorescent subjects. |
|
| Reflectance Microscope | |
| This 70’s vintage Olympus, reflectance microscope is still optically
state of the art. It has “Neo plan” lenses and digital imaging
capability. |
|
| Research Grade, Dissecting Photomicrography System | |
|
This is the newest addition to our research grade instrument complement. This Nikon MZ800 based, dissecting, photomicroscopy system features an ultra-steady, but flexible, boom system to accommodate a broad range of specimens. It is used for low power photo-documentation and for procedures that require 3D perception.

| Microtomes | |
| (primarily for preparing sections for light microscopy) | |
|
A0 820 Microtome |
|
| This classic instrument is used for sectioning embedded specimens in preparation for examination by light microscopy. | Pic Coming Soon |
|
IEC Cryocut Microtome |
|
| This microtome is used in the preparation of thin sections for light microscopy without embedding in paraffin or plastic. The specimen is supported by a matrix of ice during sectioning. Thus, specimens can be sectioned without lengthy preparation. The left photograph shows the entire system. The right photograph shows the microtome itself, within the cold chamber. | Pic Coming Soon |
