Fluorescence stereomicroscope for manipulation of transgenic C. elegans

荧光立体显微镜是现代分析线虫的重要工具。它允许选择、维护和操纵携带荧光标记转基因的转基因菌株。这些显微镜是蠕虫实验室的一部分，是生产试剂和收集数据所必需的。目前的申请要求提供资金，用于购买配备紫外线光源和滤光片装置的基本立体显微镜。在这个阶段，我们不需要为该设备增加成像能力所涉及的额外成本。

Fluorescence stereomicroscopes are essential tools for modern analysis of the nematode C.elegans. It allows the selection, maintenance and manipulation of transgenic strains harboring fluorescence-tagged transgenes. These microscopes are part of worm laboratories and necessary both for reagent production as well as data collecting. The current application requests funds for the purchase of a basic stereomicroscope equipped with an UV light source and filter set. At this stage we do not require the extra costs involved in adding imaging capability to this equipment.
