"Transformative" Microscope
On January 21, 2025 Wheaton College unveiled a confocal microscope that was gifted to the College. Confocal microscopes are typically found at large research universities due to their substantial cost. This positions Wheaton College among a select group of primarily undergraduate institutions with such advanced research equipment.
“Having access to a confocal microscope at a small Christian college like Wheaton is quite uncommon and a real blessing,” said Dr. Corbin Renken, Assistant Professor of Biological Health and Sciences.
