Want to see more of the core facilities that UConn Storrs and Health have to offer? Register for the Open House! Free lunch with registration, and vendors will be here too! Happy #FluorescenceFriday! Autofluorescent plant cell wall structures were captured on our @NikonInst AXR #confocal and denoised. ImageJ was used for processing, displaying it in the magma LUT and rotating it to create this fun little GIF. Depth coding from NIS Elements below👇 Double dipping on this same stellate trichome (left) for #microscopymonday! This image is using the @LeicaMicro Thunder K5C color camera and applying extended depth of focus. We also imaged part of the stem itself (right) and found other interesting structures! This #FluorescenceFriday we bring you some fun #sciart of a "microscopic sunflower," found from a hibiscus sample! Captured using green and far red fluorescence (yellow and orange here, respectively) and DIC on our @LeicaMicro Thunder. Any #plantsci people able to ID this?
