This proposal requests support to obtain several pieces of                      equipment to establish an integrated system for combined                        quantitative microscopic fluorescence analysis and                              electrophysiological recording.  Six major users have proposed                  projects that will utilize the instrumentation.  Five of these                  involve Ca2+ measurements by fluorescence coupled to membrane                   transport or receptor studies (exocytosis in Mast cells, receptor               studies in mammalian neurons, intestinal electrolyte transport,                 nicotinic receptors and Ca2+channel function, Ca2+ movements and                hormone production in luteal cells).  The sixth project will use                Ca2+-mediated fluorescence to study muscle myotubes in culture.
