The MIF is a comprehensive fluorescence microscopy and computer imaging facility available to the Department of Biological Sciences and the School of Pharmacy. It was established with support of the
Department of Biological Sciences, the Vice President for Research, and the School of Pharmacy. The Imaging Facility provides users with sophisticated image acquisition and analysis. Any light microscopic
application can benefit from the high quality images that can be acquired with our cooled CCD camera and motorized, computer controlled microscope. Series of images can be assembled to produce a three dimensional reconstruction, stereo pairs, extended focus, or anaglyph images. (use red-green glasses to view images a,b below).
Sample quantification in numerous modalities is possible. This capability is useful in a wide range of studies from the biological sciences(quantifying and measuring cells or cellular components) to
the material sciences (particle analysis). The Department of Biological Sciences maintains a Transmission Electron Microscope Laboratory within the Microscopic Imaging Facility. Among the TEM services provided to members of the Department of Biological Sciences are embedding, sectioning, and
immunolocalization performed on biological specimens.
The following were images acquired at the facility.. From left, a) fluorescence microscopy and image deconvolution;b) scanning electron microscopy(done offsight); c)Transmission electron microscopy (thin
section); d)Transmission electron microscopy (negative stain).

Machine Shop
The Department, through the Faculty of
Natural Sciences and Mathematics, has access to the
Faculty Machine Shop located in Fronczak Hall, adjacent
to the Cooke-Hochstetter Hall complex.
The Machine Shop is well equipped and is generally
capable of all fabrications done in wood, metal,
plastics, or combinations thereof. They also do welding
and repair work of a mechanical nature.
