IBIF Resource List

This Leica TCS SP8 microscope is well-suited for small animal imaging and electrophysiology experiments.

• Lasers: 405, 488, 514, 552, 633, and a Mai Tai 680-1040 nm tunable Ti:S
• Super HyD detectors with Becker and Hickl Time Corrleated single photon counting system
• Capable of Multiphoton, SHG, spectral imaging, and standard confocal imaging

Image

This spinning-disk confocal can image at speeds up to 1,000 frames per second, making it our only confocal microscope that can image in “real time”.

• Equipped with Yokogawa spinning disk and back-illuminated Photometrics’ Kinetix sCMOS camera for ultrasensitive detection
• Lasers: 405, 488, 561, and 640 nm
• Super-resolution capable with Gataca’s Live SR
• Tokai Hit stage-top incubation system
• More than 10 objective options available
• Ideal for live cell imaging in real time as well as for longer-term time lapse imaging

Image

This through-the-prism TIRF system was built in-house on an Olympus’ inverted microscope body.

• Lasers: 405, 488, 552, and 647 nm
• Image capture with Andor iXon EMCCD camera
• Ideal for imaging of samples on slides that require high speed and/or high sensitivity

Image

This widefield imaging platform with built-in incubation enables multi-day imaging experiments.

• Imaging options: fluorescence, brightfield, phase contrast
• Stage inserts allow users to image with microscope slides or well-plates
• Users have successfully completed 3 – 5 day imaging experiments that were fully-automated
