Microcope

Colleen Kuemmel, a scientific assistant in the Biosciences Division, makes adjustments to a light microscope to get a clearer view of endothelial cells four hours after adding growth factors. The microscope is attached to a digital camera. Biologists take snapshots every half-hour to monitor capillary growth in their petri dishes.
