In addition to electron microscopy, our facility is equipped to perform most kinds of photomicrography, photomacrography, and general photography. Our photographs have appeared in hundreds of publications, and have been used as cover art for several journals. We have made video recordings of microscopic subjects that have been used in news broadcasts, and seen nationally on PBS's Scientific American Frontiers. The following are among the many photographic services we offer:

Photomicrography: Our Nikon Microphot-FX is equipped with high-resolution planapochromatic lenses. In addition to conventional film photography, we can record digital images directly with our ultra-high resolution Kodak DCS Pro 14n camera, which records 13.9 megapixels. With our Microphot and other photomicroscopes, we can produce publication quality photomicrographs using a variety of illumination and contrast techniques:

• Bright Field

• Dark Field

• Nomarski (DIC)

• Phase Contrast

• Polarized Light

• Epifluorescence

Photomacrography and Close-up Photography: We are equipped with a Wild M7A photographic dissecting microscope, which can photograph small specimens at up to 20x (on the film) magnification. We also have cameras, lenses, and lighting equipment for hand-held close-up and macro photography.

Video Microscopy: We can make video recordings of most microscopic specimens.

Routine Photographic Services:

• Black and white film developing and publication quality photographic printing

• Digital film and print scanning

• Digital photo quality printing

• Copy work for teaching and lecture slides

Image Analysis: Any type of image can be measured. In addition to routine measurements of distance, area, or circumference, optical density measurements can be made to quantitate special stains. We strongly recommend that anyone involved in a study that may require image analysis consult with us during the planning stages of the project.
