Listing of research core items

  1. Core/facility

    FIB-SEM Collaboration Core (F-SCC)

    We utilize unparalleled enhanced FIB-SEM pipeline to generate large-volume three-dimensional electron microscopy data with nanometer isotropic resolution. Such data reveal critical insights about structure-function relationships in biology.
