Nikon TE2000U  Dual mode / Time lapse

Introduction:

This high performance widefield microscope system can perform complex and rapid acquisition tasks such as time lapse, fura-2 and other ratio imaging, and red light DIC with fluorescence (dual mode).  Optical modes of operations are transmitted light, DIC (Nomarski), Phase contrast & Fluorescence.  A good sensitivity CCD camera with good excitation for fluorescence (when the liquid light guide is in good condition).  See Leo lab. about using  this microscope.

Historical information: Similar Michael Hooker Microscopy Facility scope system was on the \\Morpheus computer.

Notes:


Powering up: - (if everything is off)

 

Setting up for transmitted light imaging
--> If transmitted illumination is not required then go to "for fluorescence only" below

Setting up for fluorescence light imaging


Dual imaging head setup for Fura-2 and transmitted light imaging

We can setup for Fura-2 & CFP & YFP at your request.  E.g. see this ref. J. Physiology 589, 2437
