Welcome to the Biology Department Microscopy Facility web site.

Information on our microscopes and services may be found here. We do service work and training in microscopy and preparation methods for members of the CMU campus, and for off-campus and industry clients.

There are many different methods of preparing samples for microscopical studies and many different microscopy methods, and the choice of which to use is highly dependent on both the samples and the questions to be answered.

Information about our microscopy courses and the Microscopy Majors Option within the Biology Major may be found using the link on the left.

Links to microscopy resources available on the web and at other institutions are also on these pages.
