Summary
FACSAria III - Fluorescence activated cell sorter. Flow cytometry is a technique for counting and examining microscopic particles, such as cells and chromosomes, by suspending them in a stream of fluid and passing them by an electronic detection apparatus. The FACSAria III cell sorter will be used to establish a core facility for sorting cells. The outcomes from using this technology are a better understanding cellular and genetic understanding of cancer, respiratory diseases, reproduction and ....FACSAria III - Fluorescence activated cell sorter.

Summary
Accessing the third dimension in scanning electron microscopy for rapid, high resolution tomography of large samples. Understanding the three-dimensional structure of materials is essential for modern research. This facility will allow rapid three-dimensional imaging of materials within a scanning electron microscope, including sustainable polymers, tissues from plants and nanocomposites. This will enable high-quality research in science, engineering and medicine.
