Our Leica DLS Light Sheet and confocal has been repaired, thanks to the Department of Medicine and Leica (Ghevant). I've tested the instrument, and it is working great for both confocal and light sheet work. I recomend using low gains for the best images, provided photobleaching is low.

The Zeiss LSM 710 confocal has been repaired. I replaced both the sanning mirrors and the circiut board, and the system is working well.

The MMC now has SEAHORSE METABOLIC FLUX ANALYZER XFe96 and XFp instruments available for researchers at CUIMC, thanks to Dr. Hans-Willem Snoeck. Reservations can be found under "Other instruments". These are excellent systems to understand glycolytic and mitochrodrial function.
