Atomic force microscope system(Easyscan 2 STM version 1.5)

nanosurf_AFM.jpg

The AFM consists of a cantilever with a sharp tip at its end. Multiple white LEDs illuminate the sample for proper positioning and setup. The tip is brought into close proximity of a sample surface. The force between the tip and the sample leads to a deflection of the cantilever according to Hooke's law. Typically, the deflection is measured using a laser spot reflected from the top of the cantilever. The tip is then scanned across the sample surface and the vertical displacement s necessary to maintain a constant force on the tip is recorded.  read more »

Inverted Microscope, Nikon Eclipse TE-2000U

Nikon inverted microscope.jpg

This microscope has its light source and condenser on the top, above the stage pointing down, while the objectives and turret are below the stage pointing up. The stage on an inverted microscope is usually fixed, and focus is adjusted by moving the objective lens along a vertical axis to bring it closer to or further from the specimen. The focus mechanism typically has a dual concentric knob for coarse and fine adjustment.  read more »

Mini Extruder(Avanti Polar Lipids Inc. )

thin film extruder.jpg

The Avanti Mini-Extruder allows the preparation of small unilamellar vesicles from different lipid species by extrusion. The heating block allows the extrusion of unilamellar vesicles at elevated temperatures, which is critical for the successful production of vesicles from phospholipids with a phase transition temperature (Tm) above room temperature.
