The CytoViva enhanced darkfield hyperspectral microscope with imaging system enables optical observation and spectral characterization of a wide range of nanomaterials up to 10 nm in solution. Since it is based on scattering of light by the nanomaterial against a very dark background, the interaction of nanoscale materials, live cells, pathogens, and tissue- and materials-based matrices can be imaged without fluorescent labeling or other special sample preparation.
Access:
Projects are initiated by a meeting of the user, principal investigator, Core Director and Core Manager. Contact Mr. Tej Shrestha.
The Core provides individual training.
Trained users coordinate instrument use via the Scheduler.
Fees:
Nanotechnology core facility equipment is available for properly trained persons, with approval of the lab manager. There is a fee for using the core facility equipment. Please contact Tej Shrestha for the fee structure.
