Description:

Core includes two full-service microscopy facilities available to researchers, clinical partners and industry members with the instruments and resources for a range of bioimaging services as well as analysis of non-biological materials. The ALMC has two locations; one within Biodesign (Biodesign Imaging Facility: BIF) and the other located in the School of Life Sciences (Regenerative Medicine Imaging Facility: RMIF). Both locations offer the technology, instrumentation and expertise to meet critical research needs in optical microscopy. These tools enable the observation of subcellular structures, track signaling pathways, and measure molecular interactions in live or fixed biological samples. Both locations are configured to accommodate live cell imaging and are BSL-2 certified with available cell culture facilities to maintain and prep samples. In both locations there is a dedicated image analysis workstation with software that includes deconvolution, particle tracking, colocalization, 3D measurements, extended depth of field and other analytic and image processing modules.
