The Oklahoma State University (OSU) Microscopy Laboratory is a multi-user, shared instrumentation facility for materials research spanning from nanotechnology to biology and medicine. Our analytical capabilities include microscopy via electron beams, force probes and visible light; nanomechanical and nanotribological probes. The facility resides administratively under the office of Vice President for Research and Technology Transfer with additional support from the Center for Veterinary Health Sciences, the College of Agriculture Science and Natural Resources, and the College of Arts and Sciences. Established in 1977, the Lab has served as the central research, teaching and training center for microscopy of OSU for 30 years. It is located in Suite 104 of the Venture 1 Building in the Oklahoma Technology and Research Park, Highway 51 and Sangre in Stillwater, Oklahoma.   Services Offered . . . Research Support      The Lab offers microscopy support for research projects by students, faculty and staff of OSU as well as outside entities on a fee basis.  A full range of services are offered including full service from sample preparation to final imaging, partial service which includes just sample preparation or support service in which the investigator performs the work using the Lab’s equipment. Education and Training     The Lab offers a formal graduate level course in microscopy each Fall Semester which covers complete instruction in transmission and scanning electron microscopy as well as an introduction to confocal microscopy and atomic force microscopy.  Informal and personal training is done throughout the year on an as-need basis for individuals or small groups.
