Interactive Tutorials Virtual Microscopy Movie Gallery Downloads ... Resource Center Fluorescence Microscopy Fluorescence illumination and observation is the most rapidly expanding microscopy technique employed today, both in the medical and biological sciences, a fact which has spurred the development of more sophisticated microscopes and numerous fluorescence accessories. Epi-fluorescence, or incident light fluorescence, has now become the method of choice in many applications and comprises a large part of this tutorial. We have divided the fluorescence section of the primer into several categories to make it easier to organize and download. Please follow the links below to navigate to points of interest. Introductory Concepts - Fluorescence is a member of the ubiquitous luminescence family of processes in which susceptible molecules emit light from electronically excited states created by either a physical (for example, absorption of light), mechanical (friction), or chemical mechanism. Generation of luminescence through excitation of a molecule by ultraviolet or visible light photons is a phenomenon termed photoluminescence , which is formally divided into two categories, fluorescence and phosphorescence , depending upon the electronic configuration of the excited state and the emission pathway. Fluorescence is the property of some atoms and molecules to absorb light at a particular wavelength and to subsequently emit light of longer wavelength after a brief interval, termed the fluorescence lifetime. The process of phosphorescence occurs in a manner similar to fluorescence, but with a much longer excited state lifetime.

NCBE Courses All of the following practical investigations make use of modern molecular biology equipment and involve gel electrophoresis. Should you wish to consider some of the ethical implications of DNA technology, we offer discussion-based activities to complement the practical work. RESTRICTION, LIGATION How are plasmid vectors constructed for use in genetic modification? How are such plasmids introduced into bacteria to permit the production of novel proteins? Participants cut plasmid DNA using a restriction enzyme and join it with the DNA ligase. The different forms of the plasmid are then separated by gel electrophoresis. Participants also introduce a plasmid into bacteria that confers antibiotic resistance and the ability to metabolise a specific substrate. After incubation, successfully transformed bacterial colonies are selected by their ability to grow in the presence of antibiotic and by a colour change. In this investigation, participants become familiar with key procedures in both molecular biology and aseptic techniques. Note that due to overnight incubation of the bacteria, results from the transformation are only available the following day. GENETIC SCREENING SIMULATION This gene screening simulation illustrates how molecular genetic techniques can be used to determine the Mendelian inheritance of an autosomal recessive condition. A DNA sample from each of 24 fictitious family members is treated with a restriction enzyme to detect a sequence change in the recessive allele. Resulting DNA fragments are separated by gel electrophoresis and the results are pooled to determine the pattern of inheritance.

Understanding gene function in mammalian systems ultimately requires the use of mammalian models. The information generated is central to the development of new therapeutic approaches to tackle human and animal diseases and to help deliver safe and effective medicines. Modern ethical practice demands that we maximise scientific gains while minimising costs to animals in research programmes. A high level of training is thus required with respect to experimental design and understanding the need for animal use, and in the application of appropriate up-to-date in vivo techniques to ensure best practice and scientific excellence while minimising the impact on animals.

In May 2001, Assistant Outreach Coordinator Cheryl Riccobelli introduced molecular biology techniques to Mr. Bruce Alstad's AP Biology class at Hampton High School. As a past participant in the DNA Techniques High School Teachers Workshop sponsored by the Department of Biological Science's Outreach Program, Mr. Alstad was able to request a DNA Techniques Outreach Kit. The Kit included all the protocols, reagents, and equipment necessary for his students to perform the bacterial transformation, restriction digest, and electrophoresis labs with the help of Ms. Riccobelli. The week began with a lesson in micropipetting. Micropipettors are the most basic instrument of molecular biologists because they allow the precise measurement and transfer of minute quantities of liquids to reactions. Mr. Alstad's students worked carefully as they practiced their newly acquired micropipetting skills with colored water practice solutions. The next day, the students were ready for the bacterial transformation exercise. Specially prepared non-pathogenic E. coli
