The Michael Hooker Microscopy Facility is a research
microscopy facility in the Thurston Bowles building at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.
The facility provides standard and advanced digital light microscopy and image
processing resources to users from the UNC Chapel Hill campus on a
fee for use basis.
Instrumentation and instruction are provided to enable users to acquire,
process and analyze images from samples they have prepared, or we can
acquire data with you. Funding assistance may be obtained from the
CTSA Pilot Grant
program to Core Facilities. |

Information for
new and current users - Users are
required to complete the user
information form and training with facility personnel for each
microscope resource
they wish use, or be assisted with scanning. Please contact Michael or
Neal in order to schedule
training or assisted scanning. All users with
wet or live samples must read this note. |

not log in or connect over the network please
call or text
Michael anytime. This computer will be upgraded.
- Jan 03: LeicaSP2 - The computer power supply was
replaced after damage as a result of a crash. A CPU cooler fan
is on order.
- Oct 15: Leica SP2: A loaner 63X 1.4 NA oil immersion
objective is available while the 63x 1.4 NA UV objective is out for
repair. Please note the loaner objective may not be well corrective for

Confocal:
An
Olympus FV1000
Multiphoton inverted confocal microscope is located in room 6033.
It features an
environmental box for temperature, gas and humidity control and light
exclusion. An
extensive range of conventional (single photon excitation lasers): 405 nm for UV excited dyes, 440 nm for e.g. eCFP, 488 nm for e.g. FITC,
514 nm for e.g. eYFP, 559 nm for e.g. TexasRed/RFP/dsRed & 633 nm for
e.g. CY5/Alexa633. Motorized x-y stage for tiling or visiting
multiple imaging sites.
MHMF oversight committee request.
