CELL IMAGING

自1999年9月细胞成像核心设施成立以来，其使命一直是 为癌症中心成员提供最先进的细胞成像技术。这包括不同形式的 光和荧光显微镜、立体和共焦显微镜以及激光显微切割系统。 可以用多个视频和CCD摄像机捕获图像，用多个图像分析和处理， 分析软件程序。此外，Core还提供分析型细胞仪服务， 免疫表型和细胞周期分析。所有科学家都有机会进行专家咨询， 并在整个实验过程中得到核心人员的持续技术支持。 使用任何核心设备。核心技术人员定期评估设施的设备， 技术培训，以保持和保证不断变化的需求和机会， 技术研究领域。在2004年，57个不同的小组，由主要研究人员领导的所有方案的 中心，包括癌症生物学，血液恶性肿瘤，化学治疗学，癌症免疫学， 泌尿肿瘤学、胃肠道癌、乳腺癌和病毒肿瘤学受益于这些核心服务。

Since the inception of the Cell Imaging Core Facility in September of 1999, its mission has been to provide state-of-the-art cell imaging technologies to Cancer Center members. This includes different forms of light and fluroescence microscopes, stereo and confocal microscopy, and a laser microdissection system. Images can be captured with several video and CCD cameras, analyzed and manipulated with several image analysis software programs. In addition, the Core provides analytical cytometry services like immunophenotyping and cell cycle analysis. All scientists have the opportunity for expert consultation prior to and during their experiments and receive continuous technical support by the Core personnel throughout the use of any core equipment. Core technicians evaluate the facility's equipment routinely and engage in frequent technical training in order to maintain and warrant the constantly evolving needs and opportunities in this technical research area. In 2004, 57 different groups led by principal investigators from all programs of the Center, including cancer biology, hematologic malignancies, chemical therapeutics, cancer immunlogy, urologic oncology, Gl cancer, breast cancer, and viral oncology, benefited from these core services.
