Users have access to a Nikon Eclipse Ti-U fluorescence microscope system with a Photometrics HQ2 Digital Camera and Nikon motorized stage. The scope is fitted with a FEI Cryo Stage 2 System - a liquid nitrogen cooled microscope stage which can be used on inverted fluorescence research microscopes. It allows screening of electron microscopy grids by means of light microscopy prior to an investigation by SEM or TEM. More info on the Nikon Eclipse microscope.
