Image Facility


Kodak EDAS 290 Electrophoresis Documentation and Analysis System Quick Manual Comprehensive Manual Manufacturer Website

Designed specifically for documentation and analysis of nucleic acid or protein electrophoresis gels and blots stained with fluorescent or chromogenic stains. 1D Image Analysis Software will find lanes and bands automatically and generate mass molecular weight, intensity, and region of interest data. Detects as little as 30pg of ethidium bromide or SYBR green-stained DNA in an agarose gel and produces accurate intensity and mass measurements.

Leica MZ16 Fluorescence Stereomicroscope Quick Manual Comprehensive Manual Manufacturer Website

As the first motorized, automated, fully planapochromatic fluorescence stereomicroscope, the Leica MZ16 FA lets you control the filter changer, zoom, focus, UV shutter, and the double iris aperture at the touch of a button, and repeats your multifluorescence experiments automatically, quickly, exactly and ergonomically. The Leica MZ16 is the fluorescence stereomicroscope with greatest zoom capability (16:1), highest resolution (840 Lp/mm), highest magnification (115x with standard optics), a patented illumination/filter system for the most intense fluorescence on jet black backgrounds, and an HL RC innovative high-performance transmitted-light base for excellent relief contrast.

Zeiss Axioplan 2 Microscope Quick Manual Comprehensive Manual Manufacturer Website

The Axioplan 2 imaging is a universal microscope which is suitable for all applications relevant to light microscopy. Its modular design, numerous components and wide range of accessories allow the Axioplan 2 imaging to be adapted and extended to perform a large number of special applications.The Zeiss Axioplan 2 is a state of the art compound microscope featuring research-grade optics, a computer interface and digital or 35 mm film photography system. The selection of Plan-Neofluar lenses will support a wide spectrum of transmitted and reflected light techniques, including epi-fluorescence, phase contrast, and differential interference contrast (DIC). 100 Watt mercury arc and halogen illumination sources insure an adequate light source for all applications. The proprietary software interface enhances the ease of use of the microscope permitting a rapid changeover of settings between users.

Stormâ860 Gel and Blot Imaging System Quick Manual Comprehensive Manual Manufacturer Website

The STORM 860 is combination of phosphorimager and fluorimager which has three image detection modes: 1 Phosphor Screen Mode 2. Red/Blue Fluorescence .3.Chemifluorescence.You can use screens for 14C, 32P, 33P, 35S, and 125I. 3H sensitive screens can also be purchased. The STORM is also a two-color (blue and red excitation) fluorescence imager, which opens up many new possibilities for quantitative analyses.a).Quantitative westerns by chemifluorescence.b). Nonradioactive gel mobility shift experiments, in which two different species can both be separately detected and quantified. c).Fluorescent dyes for quantitative versions of coomassie staining.Software provided: ImageQuant software allow you to analyze your data .
