Hear ye hear ye! THIS IS AN INVITATION AND CALL FOR ACTION:

All of us active in non-human cytometry (flow, confocal etc.), as it
relates to environmental and toxicological biomarkers assessing
health effects in wild life (aquatic, terrestrial, invertebrate and
diverse lab based indicator organisms), in laboratory animal models,
ought to pool and share our experiences via the august forum and good
offices of this present Purdue facility.

Specific, but not exclusive areas of intense interest to this
environmental researcher are:

Does anyone work with invertebrate cells. e.g. Lumbricid annelids
(earthworms), D. magna, C. elegans, & any other.

Is anyone interested in fish (Please note, the topic is truly fish,
as piscine species, rather than F.I.S.H. as in situ hybridization)
Needed info exchange on piscine hematopoiesis, immunology and
leukocytes?

Anyone out there working with male repro function (cytometry of
sperm) of piscine, amphibian and rodent models?

Does anyone measure micronuclei in any cell type using instrumental
cytometry?

Anybody working with plant cells?

PS. and Apropos: Is there anyone using a Meridian's latest ULTIMA
confocal microscope model. End user advice and personal evaluation of
this product will be greatly valued, appreciated and held in
strictest confidence. Please transmit confidential evaluation via
INETRNET , or FAX (513) 569 7609, OR VOICE PHONE ME AT (513) 569
7480.
