Keck Microscopy Facility to host open house Feb. 23
The Keck Microscopy Facility will hold an open house, Friday, Feb. 23, from 9 a.m to 5 p.m. in K-507, Health Sciences Center. The facility provides training and access to state-of-the art light microscopy instrumentation for the entire UW community.
Visitors to the open house will have a chance to learn about instrumentation and imaging techniques that can be used to advance research, including multi-dimensional, multi-color fluorescent imaging and live-cell imaging. Instrumentation training and advice on advanced applications will also be available.
In the past two years, new microscopes worth more than $1 million have been added to the Keck Microscopy Facility, including laser scanning confocal microscopes, image restoration (deconvolution) microscopes and systems for live-cell imaging. Also available are standard wide-field microscopes, a 2-photon microsope, image analysis computers and software. Nikon’s newest inverted microscope will also be demonstrated.
