Hands-on Microscopes

To access a microscope, click the New User Training button above and work through our training checklist. Trained users have 24/7 access to the facility and are given permission to schedule their own microscope sessions though our online scheduling software.

The chiller for the MaiTai multiphoton laser has FAILED therefore the 2-Photon laser is currently out of service.

The rest of the Leica SP5 2-photon microscope is working normally for now, so if your project does not require excitation at longer wavelengths (700nm+) it can continue. This includes intravital imaging without the multiphoton laser. If you need mutli-photon excitation, we suggest visiting Northwestern University.
