The facility houses advanced light microscopes, including a Leica SP8X multiphoton spectral confocal microscope and a suite of Nikon microscopes. CLIF features cell sorting equipment, a multi-user specimen preparation laboratory, and a dedicated classroom which seats 20 people. It has all the equipment necessary for sample preparation, including a cell culture hood, incubators, a chemical fume hood, and specimen rotators. Users have access to common equipment, including automatic dishwashers, autoclaves and cold rooms.<\/p>\n<p>The Clemson Light Imaging Facility\u2019s top priorities are education and research support. The facility manager holds an initial consultation with all new users to discuss project details. Dr. Bruce has an extensive background in engineering materials and biology. By drawing on this experience, she can help tailor a project from sample preparation to image acquisition and analysis to meet the client\u2019s specific needs.<\/p>\n<p>A list of equipment is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clemson.edu\/centers-institutes\/light-imaging\/equipment\/\">here<\/a>.
