This system was set up by Li Bao and is based around an AxoPatch 200B amplifier. The system, this low-noise optimized for recordngs of single channel events. A UV epifluorescence lamp is attached and the inverted Nikon Diaphot microscope is equipped with dichroic cubes that allow the selection.
Components of the system include:
- Nikon Eclipse T2000-U inverted microscope (10x, 20x and 40x air objectives as well as a 40x oil objective) with UV lamp (dichroics for GFP, RFP, DAPI fluorescence)
- Axopatch 200B amplifier with DigiData 1322A ADC converter
- Bio-Logic RSC160 solution changer (8 tubes)
- Burleigh PCS-500 right-hand manipulator
