Facility Details

Core Optical Imaging Facility is committed to make available state-of-the-art imaging technology to investigators on the UTHSCSA campus and neighboring scientific community. High-end instrumentation for acquisition and analysis of optical data is expensive and requires continued maintenance and improvements. The necessary commitment to this technology is often difficult to maintain within individual laboratories, especially when optical imaging is not a major focus for the laboratory. Therefore, the Core Optical Imaging Facility fills a critical need of UTHSCSA investigators and neighboring scientific community by offering, access to state-of-the-art technology for imaging of living cells, tissues, and animals, consultation, education and assistance regarding the theory and application of optical imaging techniques, technical advice on specimen preparation techniques and probe selection.
