On old goodies.

We had our fare share of old and aging equipment, some of which was home built, and being held together by duct tape and tape-rolls. Although I did not miss these instruments too much, today I retired one of our better microscopes. An Olympus DeltaVision deconvolution microscope that has served this Department for the last ~15 years.

This 'retirement' is particularly moving as this specific instrument has been donated to the Department of Cardiology at UC San Diego some time ago by the Hanson family in memoriam of their daughter Sharon Tamor Hansen.


We moved the microscope part of the instrument to the offices part of the building, but kept the plaque on the door of our current microscopy room.
