CORE--LASER FLUORESCENCE MICROSCOPY

该核心的目的是为计划项目的所有成员提供先进的激光荧光显微镜仪器和专业知识。核心容纳两个氩离子激光器，两个具有落射荧光照明的倒置显微镜（其中一个目前正在租借），以及所有用于TIRF和FLIC显微镜以及FRAP和单分子检测和跟踪实验的光学和电子接口。核心的日常运作由Volker Kiessling博士领导，他是一位物理学家，在先进显微镜系统的开发和操作方面拥有多年经验。Core还包括一个新的dac荧光分光光度计和一个具有偏振和ATR功能的Bruker FTIR光谱仪。来自所有三个参与者的访问科学家 实验室将接受使用这些仪器的培训。

The purpose of this Core is to provide advanced laser fluorescence microscopy instrumentation and expertise to all members of the Program Project. The Core houses two Argon ion lasers, two inverted microscopes with epi-fluorescence illumination (one of them currently on loan), and all optical and electronic interfaces to operate these instruments for TIRF and FLIC microscopy, as well as for FRAP and single molecule detection and tracking experiments. The day-to-day operation of the Core is headed by Dr. Volker Kiessling, a physicist who has many years of experience with the development and operation of advanced microscopy systems. The Core also includes for common access a new SPEX spectrofluorometer and a Bruker FTIR spectrometer with polarization and ATR capabilities. Visiting scientist from all three participating laboratories will be trained in the use of these instruments.
