Area for slide preparation and work in the hood. The radio keeps us entertained.
Area for weighing out chemicals. In the window is a Niskin sampling device.
This is our radiation laboratory where we conduct experiments on bacterial incorportation of tritiated thymidine.
One of our epifluorescence microscopes is set up to take images of bacteria. Bacterial abundance and volume are measured from the images using macros created for Image Pro Analytical Imaging Software. Also, two 35mm cameras connected to the microscope allow us to take beautiful color photos for slides or prints.
This epifluorscence microscope is equipped with an ocular counting reticule for direct measurement of cellular abundance.
