The Michael Hooker Microscopy Facility is a research
microscopy facility in the Thurston Bowles building at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.
The facility provides standard and advanced digital light microscopy and image
processing resources to users from the UNC Chapel Hill campus on a
fee for use basis.
Instrumentation and instruction are provided to enable users to acquire,
process and analyze images from samples they have prepared, or we can
acquire data with you. Funding assistance may be obtained from the
CTSA Pilot Grant
program to Core
Facilities (guidelines). |

- Mar 08: Leica SP2
confocal - PMT voltage/gain is not producing
overloaded pixels when turned up. PMT circuit board(s) will be
replaced in the week of March 15. Be careful about saturated
image regions region - turn PMT voltage down to unsaturate these
regions.
- Mar 05: Zeiss 510 confocal -
Intermittent focus delay. Please find Michael or Neal
immediately if you encounter the fine focus not responding while
scanning or viewing by eye. They would like to do diagnostic
checks.
