Video imaging
A state-of-the-art Fluorescence Imaging Workstation from Photon Technology International, Inc. (PTI) attached to a Nikon Diaphot inverted microscope is suitable for diverse epifluorescence microscopy applications. The system can be used either with a Newicon video camera coupled to an image intensifier (Videoscope) for regular low light applications, or a photomultiplier (PMT) for photon counting photometry. As a light source, this system is equipped with a stabilized, high speed dual wavelength scanning illuminator and a monochromator suitable for fluorescence ratio imaging. A user friendly software running under Microsoft Windows provides real-time acquisition and concurrent analysis of the images with spectrographs. It allows on-line filtering of the images to minimize optical recording artifacts. In addition to epifluorescence and phase contrast optics, this microscope system also has a temperature regulated stage making it suitable for optical recordings in cell cultures as well as in slice preparations. PRICE SCHEDULE 1. New Users - An initial four (maximum) training session is required - $50/hr Mr. Weimin Liu |
