Cutting-edge Microscopy
This summer, research faculty from FAU Jupiter and Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience partnered to host an intensive, four-day “minimester” in light microscopy for undergraduates.
Students had the opportunity to learn how to use six types of cutting-edge microscopy:
• Zeiss LSM 880 Confocol Laser Scanning Microscope
• Keyence Fluorescence Microscope
• Stimulated Emission Depletion Microscopy
• Nikon A1 Confocol Microscope
• Two-Photon Imaging
• Light Sheet Fluorescence Microscopy
Grouped into teams, students were assigned to one microscope to complete an independent imaging project, which they presented at the close of the course.
