Singer Instruments have been helping people around the World achieve exactly this for the last 30 years by making this classical genetics technique as easy and fun as playing a video game!

POSITIONS CAN BE REVISITED AT THE TOUCH OF A BUTTON WHAT CAN I USE IT FOR? The MSM 400 is a computer-controlled, motorised microscope platform for the dissection and documentation of yeast and fungal cells and spores; automating many of the repetitive aspects of these procedures. The small footprint means that there is room for an MSM 400 in every lab and multiple users can quickly perform, document and store their dissections, ageing studies and screens. The MSM 400 allows fast and easy dissection of tetrads and cells in a user-defined grid. The microscope automatically remembers the placement...

FEATURES & FUNCTIONS SIT BACK AND DISSECT FROM THE IMAGE ON SCREEN! Our motor-driven stage supports 90mm Petri dishes, Singer PlusPlates , standard rectangular SBS-format dishes and rectangular glass slides. The inverted petri dish holder reduces contamination and ensures accurate replacement of plates and dishes during sequential dissections or observations. “THE SCREEN IS A LIFE SAVER AND REALLY HELPS SPEED UP THE TEACHING PROCESS.” ·· Andrew Seeber Friedrich Miescher Institute Switzerland The MSM 400 main unit is built to minimise vibration. The hinged trinocular head allows dishes and slides...

FEATURES & FUNCTIONS Top mounted CMOS camera Large, touch-screen computer with on-board tetrad dissection ageing and screening software. Coarse focus The comfortable joystick can control all the basic functionality of the MSM 400. For two modes of X and Y stage movement, two thumb-buttons and fingertip microscope focusing. The joystick and micromanipulator are located on opposite sides of the stage and can quickly and easily be configured for right or left-handed users. Dual path optics for simultaneous video and eyepiece viewing of dissection area. The special optics included are custom Singer...

ACCESSORIES, CONSUMABLES & SUPPORT We also offer the MicroZapper, an electronically MICRO controlled needle agitator providing an elegant way ZAPPER to separate spores. It clamps onto the needle holder and at the touch of a button will vibrate the tip of the needle. No more damaged agar and no more lost spores; the MicroZapper is a valuable accessory for the MSM 400. Circular adaptor for using standard rectangular SLIDE HOLDER glass slides on the MSM 400. Allows cells/spores to be manipulated to and from thin-layer agar on glass slides. Can be used in conjunction with slide grid software built...

FRANCIS CRICK INSTITUTE TRANSFORMING SOCIETY THROUGH YEAST GENETICS OF COURSE THE EUREKA MOMENT WAS WHEN WE CLONED CDC2 BY COMPLEMENTATION. THAT WAS INCREDIBLY TENSE BECAUSE I KNEW IF WE WERE RIGHT, THIS WAS REALLY BIG AND EQUALLY I KNEW ALL THE WAYS IT COULD BE WRONG. % of UK adults when asked their opinion on science funding. From PEW research centre. ■ Government investment in research is es sentiaL for scientific progress ■ Private investment wiLL be enough 15% decline in the UK science budget.
