Picture
The Department of Biology at the University of Maryland College Park maintains the Laboratory for Biological Ultrastructure, a high-quality, well-equipped biological imaging facility. For more than 30 years, this facility has been an important resource for university faculty and students.The multi-room supervised facility contains two transmission (Zeiss EM 10 CA and JEOL 100CX II) and two scanning (Hitachi S-4700 and Amray 1820D) electron microscopes. Light microscopic instrumentation includes two Zeiss photomicroscopes equipped with bright field, phase contrast, differential interference contrast and polarized light optics. A recently acquired Bio-Rad MRC 1024 confocal microscope has been added to provide fluorescent and laser scanning capabilities. Although the laboratory is housed in and funded by the College of Computer, Mathematical, & Natural Sciences, it is open to use by other researchers of the university community. Investigators from the following departments benefit from the facility's state-of-the-art equipment:

  • Animal and Avian Sciences
  • Biology
  • Cell Biology and Molecular Genetics
  • Chemistry and Biochemistry
  • Chemical Engineering
