Equipment
The Brandeis Light Microscopy Facility is home to a variety of high-end instrumentation. Each system is housed in its own generously sized bay. Microscopy is often done in the dark, so we affectionately name our systems after dragons and monsters. Follow the links below to learn more about each piece of equipment.
