Green Light Microscopy (GLM) is an awareness campaign founded through the McGill University Advanced Bio-Imaging Facility (ABIF), the Cell Imaging and Analysis Network (CIAN) and the Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI) microscopy core facility. GLM aims to educate and encourage researchers to purchase new LED illumination sources or replace older mercury based technologies.
Have a quick look at all the benefits to going mercury-free through the Green Light Microscopy initiative by watching a short video HERE.
By implementing these new technologies researchers can save time and money, reduce energy consumption, remove mercury from their waste stream all while having a more reliable and stable light source for their research.
