Abstract

Light microscopy is core to modern cell biological research and under pins much of the research in the School of Biological Sciences. The importance of light microscopy is evident in two areas of research strength. These are: Neuroscience where detailed three-dimensional anatomical studies of neuron structure are important and Molecular Cell Biology where functional analysis of proteins requires detailed cellular and sub-cellular localisation of gene transcripts and proteins. Despite the fundamental importance of microscopy to our work we lack a complete digitally based photomicroscope as part of our research infrastructure. With this application we hope to establish a digital microscopy facility in the School that will serve as a core facility for work in all areas of the School's research. The addition of digital facilities will also provide a new level of analysis and data presentation to our work and further enhance our research productivity.
