IMAGING CORE

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 中心，不一定是研究者的机构。 成像核心设施拥有三台具有数字图像捕获功能的落射荧光显微镜（Nikon Eclipse 600，Zeiss Axiovert 100和200 M）（带有Metaview和Open Lab软件的Spot CE和Orca ER数码相机）。Eclipse 600将允许对细胞和亚细胞区室进行高分辨率成像。该仪器可用于各种细胞结构的详细分析。核心还包含两个倒置的落射荧光显微镜。Axiovert 200 M配备了载物台控制器，可对活细胞进行长期分析。Axiovert 100可用于分析组织培养皿中的细胞或载玻片上的固定样品。该设施中的仪器具有灵活性，将使核心用户能够掌握广泛的分析技术，用以开展其个别项目。该设施包括两台用于图像处理的计算机。这些计算机具有完整的互联网接入和彩色打印机和数据存储的网络接入。核心主任怀特哈特博士将提供有关样品制备、数据分析和成像程序的建议。此外，怀特哈特博士还将在准备数字和选择出版图像方面提供建议。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The imaging core facility houses three epifluorescence microscopes (Nikon Eclipse 600, Zeiss Axiovert 100 and 200M) with digital image capture capability (Spot CE and Orca ER digital cameras with Metaview and Open Lab software). The Eclipse 600 will allow the high resolution imaging of cells and sub-cellular compartments. This instrument can be used for detailed analysis of various cellular structures. The core also contains two inverted epifluorescence microscopes. The Axiovert 200M is equipped with stage controllers to allow long term analysis of live cells. The Axiovert 100 can be used for analysis of cells in tissue culture dishes or fixed samples on slides. The flexibility of the instruments in the facility will enable the core users a wide range of analytical techniques with which to pursue their individual projects. The facility contains two computers for image processing. The computers have complete internet access and network access to color printers and to data storage. The core director, Dr. Whiteheart, will be available to offer advice on sample preparation, on data analysis, and on imaging procedures. In addition, Dr. Whiteheart will also advise in the preparation of figures and selection of images for publication.
