The University of Wisconsin-Madison’s School of Veterinary Medicine is requesting bids for a Fully Automated Fluorescence Microscope with a Built-in Darkroom. The selected all-in-one fluorescence microscope is required to produce publication-ready images without the need of a dark room. It will be used for live cell imaging of eukaryotic cells treated with bacterial toxins (including but not limited to cell migration assays, actin rearrangement, toxicity assays, gene expression, protein expression, etc.). The system must be suited for time-lapse image analysis, 3D tracking over time, stitching of tissue section images on slides, for bacterial gene and protein expression assays in slides and plate formats, and cell count in phase contrast, brightfield, and fluorescence.
