Fluorescence stereomicroscope for manipulation of transgenic C. elegans

荧光体视显微镜是现代分析线虫的基本工具。它允许选择、维持和操作携带荧光标记的转基因的转基因菌株。这些显微镜是蠕虫实验室的一部分，对于试剂生产和数据收集都是必要的。目前的申请要求提供资金，用于购买配备紫外光源和滤光片的基本立体显微镜。在现阶段，我们不需要为这一设备增加成像能力所涉及的额外费用。

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.
