Facility Details

The Histology and Imaging Core at UNE (part of the Center of Biomedical Research Excellence for the Study of Pain and Sensory Function) is a comprehensive histology and light microscopy facility offering technical expertise and consultation services to UNE researchers and the broader academic & commercial research community. We offer a full range of histology services including cryo, paraffin, and plastic embedding & sectioning, routine/special stains and IHC optimization. Our imaging services span basic brightfield and epifluorescence to laser scanning confocal and 2-photon excitation microscopy. We offer slide scanning/digitization services using our Olympus VS200 slide scanner. Please contact Peter Caradonna (pcaradonna@une.edu) for further inquiries.
