Welcome!
The mission of this facility is to provide state of the art equipment, training, and image processing capabilities to assist researchers within the NHLBI-DIR in experiments involving light microscopy. Equipment within the facility includes several types of confocal microscopes, a two-photon microscope, and standard epi-fluorescence wide-field microscopes. This range of instruments provides capabilities for live cell imaging, deep tissue-level imaging, video-rate confocal imaging, spectral imaging, and simple wide-field fluorescence and bright-field imaging of prepared slides. We also have a suite of image processing capabilities that includes basic image analysis as well as FRAP analysis, colocalization analysis, deconvolution, particle tracking, and 3D reconstruction as well as a custom in-house image processing programs for specific applications.
