Equipment Location
The LCN currently has two Bruker CellHesion 200 AFM systems primarily for measuring cell to cell or cell to substrate interactions. It can also quantify cell elasticity and response to mechanical stress. One system is mounted on an Olympus FV1000 confocal system with the option to switch to an upright optical set up and the other system is mounted on inverted Olympus IX73 microscope.
