The Michael Hooker Microscopy Facility
is a research light microscopy facility providing advanced digital light microscopy, image processing
and analysis resources to users from the UNC
Chapel Hill campus.
We offer instrumentation and instruction to
enable users to acquire, process and analyze images from a wide variety
of samples, which they provide. |
- DIC/Nomarski Phase contrast/transmitted
- Fluorescence / DIC combined
- Confocal - fluorescence/reflection
- 3-D & reconstruction
- FRAP - FRET
- Live cell imaging (time lapse, 4-D)
- Particle tracking
- Laser Micro-Dissection
- Ratio imaging (Ca++, pH)
- Combined fluorescence & DIC
- and more......
