Optical Biology Core

主题E.光学生物学：改进的研究工具 活体观察与量化 主题领袖：格拉顿。 其他项目学院：马什，格罗斯 光学生物学核心概述 该中心关注多个层面上的空间动态。显微镜技术的最新进展 技术、探头开发、图像处理软件和样品制备现在已经完成 有可能以一定程度的灵敏度和分辨率监视生物系统中的动态行为 曾经被认为是不可能的。现在最大的障碍是对我们可以获得的信息进行有效的量化 以图像的形式。CCBS光学生物学核心的目标是开发、应用和制造 可用于量化生命系统中空间动力学的显微技术。为此， 核心不仅仅是帮助保持运转的设备和人员的集合。 它包括由中心调查人员领导的特定工具应用和工具开发项目。

Theme E. Optical Biology: Improved Tools for in vivo Observation and Quantification Theme Leader: Gratton. Other Project Faculty: Marsh, Gross Overview of the Optical Biology Core This Center is concerned with spatial dynamics at many levels. Recent improvements in microscopy technology, probe development, image processing software, and specimen preparation have now made it possible to monitor dynamic behaviors in biological systems with a degree of sensitivity and resolution once thought impossible. The great hurdle now is useful quantification of the information we can obtain in the form of images. The goal of the CCBS Optical Biology Core is to develop, apply, and make available microscopy techniques for quantifying spatial dynamics in living systems. To this end, the core is not simply a collection of equipment and personnel to help keep things running. It consists of specific tool application and tool development projects, led by Center investigators.
