The equipment proposed for use by the Center will include a 3D tracking microscope system for high-speed tracking of individual microorganisms. This fully customized microscopy includes a Nikon Ti/U Inverted Microscope with phase contrast and dark field imaging, a PInano XYZ High Dynamic Piezo Stage, a Prior ProScan XYZ Substage, a high-speed camera, and customized softwares for synchronized inline data analysis and fast motion control with nano-scale resolutions. The microorganisms will be prepared using our cell culturing and labeling facilities.
