Description
The LSM 510 was decommissioned in 2011 after over 10 years of regular use. Several of its excellent objectives were used to complete the installation of an upgraded Zeiss LSM 710 META system. However, a number of remaining components are still being housed by the Confocal Microscopy Facility. If you are a UIC investigator and might find some of these components useful, please contact the CMF staff.
