| The Microscopy Laboratory |
|
The Microscopy Laboratory is available to provide a broad range of measurements and observations of materials. The availability of light, polarization, fluorescence and laser-scanning confocal microscopy, in combination with sophisticated digital image analysis and morphometric measures, permits detailed observation and quantification of surface properties. Facilities for confocal RAMAN and electron microscopy are also available and used routinely. |
|
Optical Microscope - Nikon Model E-800, epi-illumination and
fluorescence modes, digital image analysis capabilities (Spot 2 Camera
at 1320 and 1130 resolution, true color). |
|
Stereo Zoom Microscope - Olympus Model SZX9, reflected and polarized light, digital camera, image analysis and morphometric measurements. |
|
|
Leica TCS-SP2 Laser Scanning Confocal Microscope - Available for
support of researchers in fields of materials and biological sciences.
The unit is fully maintained and has an associated analysis computer
with complete Leica software analysis suite.
The Leica TCS-SP2 Laser Scanning Confocal Microscope allows 3-D
imaging, submicron resolutions, and imaging and quantification of resin
distribution, subsurface damage, failure surface analysis, and
roughness of materials. The confocal microscope, by enabling scanning
of thin sections of a sample, allows the researcher to build up a very
clean three-dimensional image.
