Equipment
CCDD Camera
Digital Imaging with CCD Camera
This page explains why the 60X is as good as the 100X objective for our camera.
Methods to determine the size of an object in microns
Condenser
Objectives
We have the following objectives:
Dry Objectives
- 2X
- 10X
- 20X
- 40X
Oil Objectives
- 60X
- 100X
(need to add the other features of these objectives, NA, working distance, etc.)
Filter Sets
Solent incubation chamber
Changing the sensor zero value on Solent incubator
Protocols
How to reduce agarose pad sliding
IPLab Scripts
High-throughput Imaging IPLab Scripts
Image editing
For Mac OS X
Only "Graphics converter" and "Image J" can read the IPLab images directly. For ImageJ to open those images, you need to install a macro. Go to the Plugins Menu, choose "Macro", then "Install". Install the macro named OpenMacIPLab. The description of the file IPLab Mac format is in the User's Guide (Appendix), Other programs with a configurable "import" command may be able to open them once an specific configuration is set.
Links
- Nikon MicroscopyU is a useful resource for learning more about the optics relevant to the scope.
- Molecular Expressions has general information related to microscopy. Some of this information appears to the the same as that offered by MicroscopyU.
Note: one of the more useful parts of these two site are the Javascript tutorials. Unfortunately, they don't seem to load under Mac OS 10.3 using either Firefox or Safari. They do work in Tiger 10.4 using Safari however. If anyone knows of a workaround in 10.3, please place a link or note here. - Image processing toolbox from Matlab.

Troubleshooting
Q:Someone mistakenly put oil on the 40X dry objective. What's the best procedure for cleaning that off, without causing damage to the lens?
A(from Barry Alpert):Use either ether or chloroform with a wooden handled q tip ( I know thw lab supply houses carry this item )and gently wipe the oil off the lens. DO NOT scrub , as it will damage the coating. Let me know if you still haavee a problem.
