Welcome
to the Optical Microscopy Facility, a core facility of the Herbert
Irving Comprehensive Cancer Center. The Facility provides three advanced
microscope systems for three-dimensional and four-dimensional imaging.
A full-time manager and technical associate provide training and technical
support, as well as consultation on experimental design and data interpretation.
All
three of the systems can do the following:
- Two- and
three-dimensional fluorescence imaging of living or fixed samples
- Transmitted-light
(phase or DIC) imaging (non-confocal)
- Time-lapse
movies in 2D or 3D
- GFP imaging
- Morphometry
(measurement of sample dimensions)
- Quantitative
analysis of fluorescence intensity

The
three different systems have complementary capabilities. Please feel free
to contact the manager, Theresa Swayne,
to discuss your experimental setup, and to decide which system is best for
your imaging needs. Click
on any of the buttons below to learn more about the instruments at the Facility,
or about methods to improve your microscopy. |
