The Imaging Core of the Imaging & Behavioral Neuroscience (IBN) Facility at The University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) provides fee-for-service access to advanced imaging platforms and expert support for high-resolution confocal microscopy, volumetric imaging, and 3-D image analysis. Our instrumentation includes two mesoSPIM light sheet microscopes, a confocal microscope with super-resolution and live-cell capabilities, and a micro-CT system. Specialized space is provided for sample preparation in a dedicated tissue processing and staining room, which houses a stochastic electro transport system for high-throughput tissue clearing and deep tissue staining along with additional equipment for tissue processing. Two Imaris workstations are also available for 3-D image visualization and quantitative analysis.
Supporting researchers across various disciplines, our core excels in neuroscience and large-volume tissue imaging. We offer comprehensive services, including hands-on instrument training, expert consultation, and assisted imaging. Researchers can choose to work independently with staff support or opt for our full-service. Additionally, our specialized workflow-based training for volumetric imaging includes tissue clearing, image acquisition, and 3D analysis.
