NEW Hitachi S-3400N variable pressure
SEM
The CSIF
has purchased a variable pressure SEM with secondary
and back scattered electron detection. Variable
pressure operation allows the imaging of hydrated
samples with little or no processing. Installation
date: 03/07/07. Learn more at Hitachi's web site:

CSIF's deconvolution imaging system has been
upgraded to the state-of-the-art with installation of
the Delta Vision RT upgrade. The upgrade includes a new
fast, high resolution CCD camera, live cell imaging
filter sets, Linux workstation as well as other useful
additions. Check it out at API's site API

Technology and Technique Development Small
Grants are STILL available:
The
CSIF has obtained funding from the Beckman Foundation
to help support the development and implementation of
new imaging methods. This "new
technology/technique development small grant" fund
is available to any CSIF user wishing to develop new
imaging, localization or staining techniques for light
or electron microscopy. The objective of this fund is
to help users defray the costs associated with the
trial and error stages of invention and or development
of new imaging methods.
Application for support through a new
technology/technique development small grant can be
made by submitting a proposal to Jon Mulholland, the
Director of the CSIF. Applications must contain a
concise statement of objective, an outline of the
proposed method or technology development including an
estimate of the total amount of time required on CSIF
instrumentation or other estimate of development cost.
Grants will be limited to a maximum of $3,500 per
project. Applications for funding will be reviewed and
approved by members of the CSIF advisory
committee.
