Microscopy and Cytometry Facility, University Park

Providing services in all aspects of optical and electron microscopy, histology, flow cytometry, and cell sorting

The Facility is specialized in four clusters – optical microscopy, electron microscopy, histology and flow cytometry – equipped with confocal microscopes, research fluorescence microscopes, transmission- and scanning electron microscopes, flow cytometers and a cell sorter, and whose research staff is engaged in experimentation, training, project collaboration and consultation.

Beginning in fall 2011, the Microscopy and Cytometry Facility is scheduled to move to the Millennium Science Complex (MSC), Penn State’s newest state-of-the-art research facility; this relocation will make Penn State’s microscopy and cytometry resources more accessible to researchers from both the Life Sciences and Materials Sciences communities.
