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 251 LSA.
Electron Microscopy Laboratory: Transmission and scanning electron microscopy. Located in Giannini Hall.
The Golub Microscope Collection: Web site dedicated to Dr. Orville J. Golub's collection of antique microscopes from the 17th–20th Centuries. The collection is located in VLSB

Background Image: Leaf autofluorescence of Tamarix aphylla, a salt secreting desert tree capable of thriving in high salt and alkaline environments. Image was acquired on the Zeiss stereo Lumar epifluorescence dissecting microscope in the BIF.

Inset Image: Local water-availability on a Tamarix aphylla leaf as reported by a halophilic bacterial GFP biosensor (based on the E. coli ProU promoter). The image of the GFP biosensors is a compiled Z-stack maximum intensity projection overlaid on a DIC image of the leaf surface. Images were acquired on the Zeiss LSM 710 confocal at 1000x magnification and processed with ImageJ.
