 The Computational Microscopy Laboratory (CML) -located in
Room M210, Massman Research Building, conducts research in the use of
computers to extract more information from microscopical images. This
research includes the characterization of the different microscopes,
such as brightfield fluorescence microscopy and confocal scanning
fluorescence microscopy (CSFM); reflected light microscopy,
differential interference contrast (DIC). Research on CSFM covers
several approaches to confocality and to partial confocality including
single-aperture confocal scanning microscopes (CSM's) as well as
multiple-aperture CSM's or tandem scanning microscopes (TSM's) such as
the Newport confocal adaptor.
