“Multi-functional optical imaging system” (다기능성 광학 이미징 시스템)
Fluorescence microscope with wide-field/TIRF/STORM imaging capabilities. Equipment sharing plan will be posted once the system is up and running. Currently, we are building the microscope system. For any inquiry, please contact Jeongmin Kim (jeomik@snu.ac.kr, (+82) 31-888-9082).
