• Zeiss Celldiscoverer7 – An automated, inverted microscope with integrated darkroom for observation of both live and fixed samples. The fluorescent excitation unit comes with seven LEDS for flexibility in the choice of dyes, and a incubation system.  
• Zeiss AxioImager.M2 – Brightfield imaging on an upright scope that has a fully motorized stage.  
• Zeiss PALM LCM **(Laser Capture Microdissection) microscope
