Core--Imaging and Cell Structure

肝脏中心的成像和细胞结构核心与我们机构范围的分析成像中心一起运作，为肝脏中心研究人员提供现代成像和计算机分析技术的“最先进”设施。在核心中提供的先进和独特的分析和图像制作技术在单个实验室中不容易获得。此外，核心通过提供专门的仪器，如激光扫描共聚焦显微镜，双光子显微镜和免疫冷冻电子显微镜，以及辅助或独立使用这些仪器的技术支持，促进了成像技术在肝脏研究中的使用。协助规划实验，利用成像程序，并在光和电子显微镜数据的解释，是可用的。核心更新设备和程序，以预测新兴的成像和细胞结构方法，并保持在成像技术的领先地位。此外，核心还根据肝脏中心研究者的需要提供组织学、组织化学和免疫组织化学服务。

The Imaging and Cell Structure Core of the Liver Center operates in conjunction with our institution-wide Analytical Imaging Center to provide a 'state of the art' facility for modern imaging and computer analysis techniques for Liver Center Investigators. Advanced and unique analytical and image production techniques, available in the Core, are not readily available in individual laboratories. Furthermore, the Core facilitates use of imaging techniques in liver research by providing specialized instrumentation, such as laser scanning confocal microscopy, two photon microscopy and immunocryoelectron microscopy and the technical support for assisted or independent use of such instrumentation. Assistance in planning experiments to utilize imaging procedures, and in light and electron microscopic data interpretation, is available. The Core updates equipment and procedures to anticipate emerging imaging and cell structure methods and to remain at the leading edge of imaging technology. In addition, the Core provides histological, histochemical, and immunohistochemical services as needed for Liver Center Investigators.
