Nikon TE2000U  Dual mode / Time lapse / Ratio Imaging  Microscope

Introduction:

This high performance widefield microscope system can perform complex and rapid acquisition tasks such as time lapse, fura-2 and other ratio imaging, rapid filter changes, red light DIC with fluorescence (dual mode) and color capture of transmitted light samples.  Optical modes of operations are transmitted light, DIC (Nomarski), Phase contrast & Fluorescence.  A high sensitivity CCD camera as well as an intensified CCD camera are available.  See facility personnel about these functions before using the microscope.
