Wu Tsai Institute Microscopy Shared Facility
About the core
The facility, run by the Center for Neurodevelopment and Plasticity of the Wu Tsai Institute, is composed of two parts:
NeuroLux, located in the Sterling Hall of Medicine and connected by bridge to 100 College Street, houses advanced commercial turnkey microscopes.
The Plexus, located at 100 College Street, is a proving ground for new instruments and probes developed by engineers in collaboration with biologists, before they are commercially available or widely used by other researchers. The instruments are available to be used by biologists once they are ready. The Plexus staff also provides consultation and assistance to research labs in their own microscopy-related projects.
Available to Yale researchers only
