Fluorescent microscope and imaging system
EF 2006-07
Résumé
The equipment requested in this application is for a fluorescent compound microscope and an imaging system. This equipment will be used to analyse and image fluorescently labelled proteins and probes in embryonic tissues and will enable my PhD student (J. Quinn) to assess microinjections of greenfluorescent proteins which she will be injecting into zebrafish embryos as part of her Phd thesis project. No suitable fluorescent microscope or imaging system is currently available at my institution. My research into comparative craniofacial development depends heavily on being able to view labelled proteins in three dimensions. An ultra-low freezer is also required for storage of cells, probes and tissue as MSVU does not have one at present.
