>> Welcome to an update
of the Light Microscopy Module enhancements effort
at the NASA Glenn Research Center, brought to you
by the Space, Life and Physical Sciences Division
at Headquarters in the ISS Program Office.
What we want to show you today is progress
on the confocal microscopy capability on the LMM,
which consists of a confocal pad,
high resolution CCD ray camera, which is a low-noise,
high frame rate, GigE camera.
We also have a second wide field microscopy camera,
simultaneously configured with the confocal,
so you can switch back and forth remotely
to the different modalities.
And a fiber-coupled laser that's neodymium YAG,
532 nanometer illumination.
The laser package is on the reverse of this rack,
along with support electronics that are needed
to run the camera and power the facility.
So this new capability will give us the ability to look
into turbid colloidal samples, much deeper than you can
with standard microscopy and look
at configurational changes in the colloids.
It also supports biological research.
The wide field capability is currently on orbit,
and we're running experiments for biological
and colloidal sciences right now.
Please come and talk to us about our capabilities,
and we'll see how they match to your research opportunities.
