The National Institute on Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) is a part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and conducts research into the causes, treatment, and prevention of neurological disorders and stroke. The NINDS Cell Biology and Biophysics Section (CBBU) investigates microtubules (MT) in vitro and in vivo at spatial scales ranging from nanometers to micrometers. The CBBU has a long history of exploring the structure and function of tubulin and microtubules as well as microtubules-associated proteins (MAPs) in vitro. The CBBU is moving toward in vivo imaging and expansion microscopy. To image cell samples over a large field of view and with a high dynamic range in the images, an electron-multiplying CCD (EMCCD) camera is necessary for suppressing background noise and enhancing the available dynamic range. The CBBU will use the iXon Life 888 EMCCD camera or equal EMCCD camera to image axonal transport and organelle organization in cells. ***Please see the attached Sources Sought Notice for additional details.***
