The old SEM room (BIOSI 2; E/0.04) has now been refurbished as a dedicated widefield microscopy suite via School support. The refurbishments include new electrical and internet connections, benching, secondary glazing and black-out blinds. The suite hosts a broad range of modern transmitted light and epifluoresence systems including (from left to right):

• Meiji brightfield macro-imaging system
• Objective Imaging Surveyor brightfield slide scanning system
• Olympus BX50 brightfield/fluorescence system
• Leica DMRB brightfield system
• Olympus SZX12 brightfield/fluorescence stereo zoom system
• Olympus BX61 brightfield/DIC/fluorescence fully motorised system
• Olympus BX40 brightfield/darkfield/phase/epifluorescence system

All of the systems are available for use with or without technical support and are suitable for a wide variety of research purposes, including student projects.
