>        Dear collegues,
>        I am working in arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi genetics in
>cooperation with Dr. Lafontaine's research group (Laval University, Quebec,
>Canada). We are specially interested in the nuclei shape, development and
>distribution during the life cycle of these fungi. After trying with
>several fluorocromes, we found that DAPI was the most adequate dye for our
>purposes. We would like to examine these nuclei through confocal microscope
>(), but unfortunately we do not have the U.V. scanning laser to detect the
>DAPI emmission fluorescence peak. I would like to know if some
>north-american (USA+Canada) laboratory has this u.v. laser, and if it is
>possible to get the address.
>        Thank you in advance for your cooperation. I am looking forward to
>hear soon from you.
>        Best regards,
>                                   Berta Bago.
