CNR Biological Imaging Facility

Microscopy Facilities
at the University of California, Berkeley

There are three core laboratories on campus that offer expertise, instruction, and instrumentation in modern microscopy:

The CNR Biological Imaging Facility (This lab): Confocal and standard fluorescence microscopy, microtechnique, training in digital image processing and analysis. Located in 381 Koshland Hall
Molecular Imaging Center: Multi-photon, laser scanning confocal and deconvolution microscopy, electrophysiology. Located in LSA.
Electron Microscopy Laboratory: Transmission and scanning electron microscopy. Located in Giannini Hall.
The Golub Microscope Collection: Web site dedicated to Dr. Orville Golub's collection of antique microscopes from the 17th–20th Centuries.

A 3-dimensional reconstruction of a Chlamydomonas reinhardtii lts1 mutant strain transformed with GFP fused to the Rh1 protein, a membrane channel for carbon dioxide. The lts1 mutant strain lacks carotenoids and has reduced levels of chlorophyll. Rh1-GFP (green) is localized to the cytoplasmic membrane and chlorophyll autofluorescence (red) is present along the periphery of the cell separate from GFP fluorescence. Images were acquired on a LSM 510 Meta Confocal microscope in the Biological Imaging Facility, deconvolved using SVI Huygens, and displayed using Bitplane Imaris.
