Abstract

The role of the cerebellum in the development and storage of motor skills is currently being analysed. The cellular changes underpinning eyeblink conditioning, a simple form of associative learning, are being investigated using electrophysiological, immunohistochemical and anatomical techniques. These experiments require microscope images to be captured at high resolution and processes for densitrometric and three-dimensional analysis. An extension to our existing image capture system is requested to enable much higher resolution image capture in colour, and to manipulate and process these images in 3D.
