Welcome!
ALERT In Observance of U.S. Holiday, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Agilent Cross Lab/ iLab Operations Software will be closed during U.S. hours on Monday January 21st, 2019. We will resume regular U.S. support hours on Tuesday January 22nd, 2018. EU and APAC Support will remain open during this time. For urgent matters, please add "Urgent" to the ticket/ email subject or press "1", when prompted, to escalate a call on the iLab Support phone and we will prioritize those requests first. Issues from the Kiosk and Interlock issues on January 18th, 2019 should be resolved now. If any issues persist, we recommend first performing a power to cycle the bridge.
This core facility is administered by the Department of Physiology and provides equipment and expertise to assist investigators in applying advanced fluorescence microscopy techniques to their research.
Confocal and multiphoton microscopy imaging: Several advanced microscopes are available for imaging live or fixed samples, 2D or 3D, time-lapsed, and in multicolor. Wide-field, confocal, and multiphoton systems provide ability to image a large range of specimens, from cultured cells and tissue slices, to live organs, embryos, and animals.
Training: The core provides training in usage of the microscopes. Training sessions are arranged in consultation with the facility manager. Once trained, users have unrestricted access to the facility to carry out their own image acquisition and analysis in the core.
Consultation: Consultation on experimental design and approach is provided by the facility manager and director.
