Microscopy Facilities
at the University of California, Berkeley
There are three core laboratories on campus that offer expertise, instruction, and instrumentation in optical microscopy for research.
- The CNR Biological Imaging Facility (This lab): Confocal, deconvolution, and widefield fluorescence microscopy, live-cell imaging, microtechnique, training in digital image processing and analysis. Located in 381 Koshland Hall
- Molecular Imaging Center: Multi-photon laser scanning confocal microscopy, electrophysiology, live-cell imaging. Located in LSA and LKS.
- Electron Microscopy Laboratory: Transmission and scanning electron microscopy. Located in Giannini Hall.
- CIRM/QB3 Shared Stem Cell Facility: Available for the study of stem cells. Located in Stanley Hall
- The Golub Microscope Collection: Web site dedicated to Dr. Orville J. Golub's collection of antique microscopes from the 17thÐ20th Centuries. The collection is located in VLSB
Particle tracking using Imaris software. MDA-MB-231 cell line expressing Caveolin-1-RFP (red) and Clathrin-GFP (green) were imaged simultaneously in living cell using a dual beam splitter and TIRF microscopy. Dynamics of proteins are then analyzed using Bitplane Imaris software in the BIF. Tracks shown here are color coded for time.
