The Michael Hooker Microscopy Facility is a research microscopy facility in the Thurston Bowles building at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.

The facility provides standard and advanced digital light microscopy and image processing resources to users from the UNC Chapel Hill campus on a fee for use basis.  Instrumentation and instruction are provided to enable users to acquire, process and analyze images from samples they have prepared, or we can acquire data with you.

Information for new and current users - Users are required to complete the user information form and training with facility personnel for each microscope resource they wish use, or be assisted with scanning. Please contact Michael or Neal in order to schedule training or assisted scanning.  All users with wet or live samples must read this note.

The Olympus FV1000 Multiphoton inverted confocal microscope is located in room 6033.  It features an environmental box for temperature, gas and humidity control and light exclusion. An extensive range of conventional (single photon excitation lasers): 405 nm for UV excited dyes, 440 nm for e.g. eCFP, 488 nm for e.g. FITC, 514 nm for e.g. eYFP, 559 nm for e.g. Rhodamine/TexasRed/dsRed/mCherry & 633 nm for e.g. CY5/Alexa633/Draq-5.  Motorized x-y stage for tiling or visiting multiple imaging sites.        MHMF oversight committee request.
