The Pol-Scope provides polarization optical measurements, such as birefringence retardation, at unprecedented speed, sensitivity, and resolution over the entire field of view. We use the Pol-Scope to analyze the structural basis of cell motility as it is displayed, for example, in the architectural dynamics of mitotic spindles in dividing cells and of f-actin networks in neuronal growth cones.

Diane, Research Assistant Laboratory of Michael Rabinowitz This laboratory investigates environmental geochemistry and epidemiology. Areas of recent activity include modeling lead bioavailability. writing a history of lead biokinetic models, performing a case control survey of tea drinking and oral cancer in Taiwan, quantifying the transport and fate of various sources of residential lead exposure, and serving on several advisory boards of Superfund research projects in Boston and New York. Current activity focuses on characterizing lead paints and pigments. Hundreds of lead poisoning lawsuits are filed every year against landlords, but no compensation has ever been paid by the halt dozen companies that made lead pigments, because it has not been possible to identify the specific manufacturer. This research has been funded by the Eagle Picher Trust. Other activity, sponsored by HUD, involves using stable isotopes of lead to determine the relative importance of vari
