Deconvolution microscore

  • Zeiss Deconvolution Microscope Workstation with full featured KS-400 image processing software.

  • Coupled with the high resolution, low light CCD camera this work station can computationally reassign (deconvolve) the out of focus components of a through focus series of a specimen using either user defined theoretical or measured point spread functions. The KS-400 image processing software has numerous features for both the quantitation of image sets and allows extensive 3D reconstruction and volume rendering capabilities.

IR-560 FTIR Spectrophotometer

  • Nicolet Magna IR-560 FTIR Spectrophotometer (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrophotometer) with added (AEM) Auxiliary Experimental Module.

  • Used in grazing angle and transmission modes for the characterizations of thin films, and monolayers.

DU 7400 spectrophotometer

  • Beckman DU 7400 UV/Visible diode array Spectrophotometer with added peltier temperature controlled cuvette holder.

  • This instrument collects simultaneous wave lengths in either absorbance or transmittance modes. This feature is required when characterizing samples with rapid reaction times or when following enzyme kinetics.

PTI fluorometer
  • Photon Technologies International Quanta Master Model C Cuvette based scanning Spectrofluorometer with an added Laser Fluorescence lifetime module.

  • This fluorometer is used to study a wide variety of liquid and solid samples in both steady state and time resolved fluorescence modes. The intensity based, time domain system accurately measures fluorescence decays over multiple time scales (100 ps - 10 ns) and coupled with the dye laser/frequency doubler allows accurate measurements of solid samples with low quantum yields or turbid liquid samples with high scattering properties.
