Nikon AZ-100
This upright, widefield microscope is best for relatively large samples that need a low magnification (0.5x up to approximately 20x) combined with high resolution and continuous zoom capability. For example, bright field and/or fluorescent images of C. elegans, zebra fish and rodent embryos, rodent eyes and whole rodent brain slices can be done. Single images are often comparable to mosaic images created on other microscopes using 10x or 20x lens but can be done much faster. Time lapse, manual z-stacks and mosaics are also possible. Note: To use the microscope you must have an active iLab account and request access to the Cell Imaging Shared Resource in iLab. Reservations are made through our on-line iLab calendar. Contact Jenny to arrange training.
