Integrated ultra-fast confocal/TIRF imaging station (360G-Wellcome-080833_Z_06_Z)
We seek funding for an integrated ultra fast Confocal/TIRF imaging station, a powerful microscopy system not currently available for our research. The quality of our spatial and kinetic data will be significantly enhanced by the system, enabling us to better visualise subcellular events, and thus ask new and more probing questions. Key goals will be to advance fundamental understanding of mechanisms of neurotransmitter release, ion channel regulation and interaction, and cell movement. Within this application we describe examples of on-going research projects which will benefit significantly from the new equipment, which offers considerable improvements in speed and dramatic insight into membrane events. A further key goal is to enhance our existing collaborative efforts and also improve expertise in imaging techniques through our Bio-imaging Core Facility. We also wish to enable novel research projects for additional users, largely based in our £5M newly-refurbished Integrative Membrane Biology laboratories, completed in September 2005.
