Welcome
to the Imaging Facility for the Department of Molecular Microbiology.
Our facility provides fluorescence, confocal, and transmission electron
microscopy to all members of the Washington University community on a
recharge basis. Our goal is to assist faculty, staff and students with
their research needs for imaging applications. The Imaging Facility is
available for complete processing of samples for transmission electron
microscopy including plastic embedding and processing for cryo or PLT
immunoelectron microscopy. We offer consultation on experimental approaches
for use of our equipment and can assist with the production of publication
quality images.
Our facility houses the following resources: Laser scanning confocal microscopy ZEISS LSM 510 META Confocal Laser Scanning Microscope Wide field fluorescence microscopy ZEISS Axioskop 2 MOT Plus Transmission electron microscopy JEOL 1200 EX II Transmission Electron Microscope Ultramicrotome LEICA Ultracut UCT with EM FCS cryo attachment Cryostat MICROM HM 505 N Computer workstation Axiovision, LSM 510 Examiner, and VOLOCITY software The Molecular Microbiology Imaging Facility is located on the 10th floor of the McDonnell Pediatrics Research Building (4905 Children’s Place) in Room 10302. Please contact Wandy Beatty (beatty@borcim.wustl.edu) at 362-4987 for any information concerning instrumentation, sample processing, or scheduling.
