Luminescence Microscope

The University of Alberta is inviting the submission of Proposals to supply a Luminescence Microscope for the Department of Cell Biology. The equipment should be capable of quantifying changes in luminescence (luciferase) in as few as three neurons in ex planted live Drosophila melanogaster brains. The source of luminescence will be luciferase that is under the regulation of a weak promoter requiring high sensitivity for luminescence detection. The equipment should also be capable of measuring t
