Laboratory 1 is
dedicated exclusively to microscopy services and is configured
to provide complete control over room lighting for epifluorescence
procedures. Microscopes include an Olympus BX-50 equipped
with PlanApo optics for epifluorescence, phase-contrast,
brightfield, and differential interference contrast microscopy.
The microscope
is complemented with a digital imaging workstation for capture
of photomicrographs under all optical configurations. The microscopy laboratory also includes Zeiss Diavert and
American Optical Biostar inverted microscopes for examination
of infected cell cultures.
