描述：（申请人的描述）共聚焦的目的 显微镜核心是加强同行评审资助的研究活动， CCC成员，其研究需要共聚焦显微镜和相关 技术.能力和服务包括：高分辨率常规 光学显微镜，原位杂交，细胞化学，组织化学， 免疫细胞化学，免疫组织化学，细胞内运输研究， 多个标记研究（最多可研究3个不同的参数， 同时）和比率（例如，细胞内pH和离子测量研究）， 以及三维图像重建和定量 测量. 共焦成像系统由Zeiss LSM 310组成 配备三个激光器的共聚焦显微镜及其SiliconGraphics 工作站，配备一个激光器的Meridian ACAS 570分析细胞仪 （可调谐到三个波长）和一个单独的工作站，以及一个子午线 InsightPlus共聚焦显微镜还配备了一个激光器。 该设施 还通过蔡司Axiophote提供传统的荧光显微镜 双摄像头显微镜。 除了SiliconGraphics和 Meridian工作站，共聚焦显微镜核心的分析系统 包括两台Macintosh G3电脑，配有几台照相级打印机 以及各种分析软件。

Description: (Applicant's Description) The purpose of the Confocal Microscopy Core is to enhance the peer-reviewed funded research activities of CCC members whose research requires confocal microscopy and related techniques. Capabilities and services include: High resolution conventional light microscopy, in situ hybridization, cytochemistry, histochemistry, immunocytochemistry, immunohistochemistry, intracellular trafficking studies, multiple labeling studies (up to 3 different parameters can be studied at the same time) and ratioing (e.g., intracellular pH and ion measurement studies), as well as three dimensional image reconstruction and quantitative measurements. The confocal imaging system consists of a Zeiss LSM 310 confocal microscope equipped with three lasers and its SiliconGraphics workstation, a Meridian ACAS 570 Analytical Cytometer equipped with one laser (tunable to three wavelengths) and a separate work station, and a Meridian InsightPlus confocal microscope also equipped with one laser. The facility also provides conventional fluorescent microscopy through a Zeiss Axiophote Dual-Camera Photomicroscope. In addition to the SiliconGraphics and the Meridian workstations, the analytical systems of the Confocal Microscopy Core include two Macintosh G3 computers with several photographic quality printers as well as various types of analytical software.
