The Histology Core provides equipment, software, and expertise for microscopy and morphometry. The primary instrument in the core is a Nikon Eclipse Ci-L scope for bright field and fluorescent applications. This microscope is paired with Lumenera's Infinity software for capture and analysis.

Nikon Eclipse Ci-L

  • Upright microscope with 4X, 20X, 40X, and 60X objective lenses.
  • Infinity 2 camera for RGB capture, and Infinity 3 for highly sensitive monochrome capture
  • Filter cubes for FITC, DAPI, and Texas Red

The Ci-L can be reserved in 60 minute blocks. There is a sign up sheet in the core. When it is not reserved it may be used on a first come, first serve basis. All users must be trained before their first use of the scope, and must follow a few simple rules.
