West Campus Imaging Core
About the core
The Imaging Core provides access and training to a broad collection of shared instruments. These include a fleet of optical microscopes with three confocal systems, two wide-field systems, a laser-microdissection system, a cell-culture microscope, a stereomicroscope, and a newly built optical tweezer system. An atomic force microscope (AFM) is also available.
The core also maintains cell-culture equipment, such as a biosafety cabinet, incubators, a refrigerator, and microfuges and lab support areas for cell culture and sample preparation.
