After a super efficient lab renovation, we welcomed our fourth microscope to our lab!

We had to knock down the benches, and re-route the plumbing systems, with a new sink installed.

Thanks to Patrick, our most helpful lab manager at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, the renovation was fast and efficient.

Within a week, we created the space needed to accommodate the newly acquire Stellaris 8 from Leica.  It boasts a wider range of super-continuum laser spectra than our Leica Sp8, which has been and will be the work horse in the MEOW lab. Equipped with 6 photon-counting detectors, ultrafast cameras and many more features, we cannot wait to use it for the new experiments. We are very excited!

Our 6-year old Leica SP8 system with white light laser, FLIM and many more features is the data producing instrument of the lab.

The brand new Leica Stellaris 8 will be added to our arsenal of developing new tools to advance biomedicine and bioengineering!
