Kelty Lab

This setup comprises an Olympus BX51WI infrared normarski/DIC compound microscope with translation stage, camera (Dage) and monitor (Sony), TMC anti-vibration table, faraday cage, 4-axis motorized manipulator (Siskiyou Design), 3-axis maual manipulator (Narishige), thermostated superfusion chamber (Warner), peristaltic pump (Rainin), computer, AC amplifier (Grass), integrator, oscilloscope, computer, data acquisition system and Heka EPC8 voltage clamp amlifier. Another setup is used for blind patch clamp recording and extracellular recording. This setup is similar to the above, but with a Nikon binocular microscope instead of an Olympus compound scope. A third setup is used exclusively for extracellular recording. This setup is similar to the blind setup, but without the Heka amplifier and only using one (Narishige 3-axis) manipulator. Refrigerated Baths and digital chart recorder (temperature): Dr. Kelty’s laboratory contains 3 refrigerated recirculation baths (Neslab RTE740) for examination of cold stress. Up to 8 channels of temperature data may be monitored concurrently during such studies. The laboratory also contains 2 incubators that may be programmed for diurnal light and temperature cycling.
