The UC Merced Imaging and Microscopy Facility hosts optical, confocal, scanning and transmission electron microscopes and equipment for preparing specimens for examination. The IMF has a beautifully designed space located in the Science and Engineering 2 building. Over the past 2 years we have added state of the instruments including a Zeiss scanning electron microscope and an LSM 880 laser scanning confocal microscope with super-resolution capabilities. The tour will highlight the resources available in the facility and demonstrate the operation of the LSM 880 confocal microscope with biological specimens. All are welcome.
