Housed in a specially designed room of the Science Center, Oberlin’s confocal microscope provides remarkable cellular detail and resolution; it also produces three-dimensional images that can be rotated and viewed from different angles. The equipment, used primarily by faculty and students in neuroscience and biology, was purchased through a grant from the National Science Foundation.
