Cell Imaging Core

The Cell Imaging Core Laboratory is committed to excellence in research and education. We provide expert technical assistance and instrumentation in support of investigators. The Core also educates graduate students in the basic principles of imaging.

The core is directed by Dr. Graydon Gonsalvez. Daily operations and maintenance are the responsibility of Dr. Rachel Cui.

The Cell Imaging Core Laboratory has the following research capabilities:

• Super-Resolution Microscopy
• Multiphoton Microscopy
• Confocal Microscopy
• Digital Light Microscopy

Computation

• Deconvolution
• Quantitative Analysis
• Image Enhancement
• 3D Reconstruction

Equipment

• Zeiss LSM780 upright confocal microscope
• Zeiss LSM780 inverted confocal microscope with Airyscan
