The Integrated Microscopy Shared Resource (IMSR) is a state-of-the-art equipment, training, and consultation imaging resource resource for scores of Dan L. Duncan Cancer Center (DLDCC) researchers. Its mission is to provide a full suite of light and electron microscopy (LM, EM), and assay development resources for DLDCC and other BCM investigators. The IMSR staff is well-trained in all aspects of image based investigation and stays at the forefront of new experimental approaches in collaboration with the IMSR leader's research program. The IMSR currently supports image-based studies for both live and fixed cells using manual and automated high throughput microscopy (HTM), and also for ultrastructural studies via transmission EM. The LM resources consist of a new Nikon AIR multispectral and Zeiss LSM 510 META confocal microscopes. A new DeltaVision "Core" deconvolution scope and a thoroughly-upgraded original DeltaVision are now in use along with a Zeiss AxioPlan2/CCD workstation. The Nikon and DeltaVison Core instruments are fully live cell and FRET capable, and both are suitable for multiwell plate usage. Standard HTM capabilities are based upon the two fully-automated Beckman-Coulter IC-100 systems with robotic platforms for fluid handling and plate loading. High content analysis (HCA) support is based upon the fully customizable Pipeline Pilot image analysis platform. HTM and automated image processing are synergistic with primary screening of monoclonal antibodies (Proteomics Shared Resource), and RNAi libraries (RNAi Shared Resource) for high speed pathway analysis in single cell assays. The Hitachi H-7500 transmission digital EM supports ultrastructural studies. IMSR staff include two imaging technologists and a registered electron microscopy technician. IMSR goals are to facilitate and support DLDCC researchers through collaboration on experimental design, user training on all instrumentation and software, and as needed, direct image acquisition or processing by IMSR staff, and assistance in data interpretation and presentation. The IMSR will continue to expand to meet DLDCC needs through equipment grants and vendor arrangements in order to provide Cancer Center investigators with basic and leading-edge imaging infrastructure and expertise.

集成显微镜共享资源 (IMSR) 是为 Dan L. Duncan 癌症中心 (DLDCC) 的数十名研究人员提供的最先进的设备、培训和咨询成像资源。 其使命是为 DLDCC 和其他 BCM 研究人员提供全套光学和电子显微镜（LM、EM）以及检测开发资源。 IMSR 工作人员在基于图像的调查的各个方面都接受过良好的培训，并与 IMSR 领导者的研究项目合作，处于新实验方法的前沿。 IMSR 目前支持使用手动和自动高通量显微镜 (HTM) 对活细胞和固定细胞进行基于图像的研究，还支持通过透射电镜进行超微结构研究。 LM 资源包括新型 Nikon AIR 多光谱显微镜和 Zeiss LSM 510 META 共焦显微镜。新的 DeltaVision“核心”反卷积示波器和彻底升级的原始 DeltaVision 现已与 Zeiss AxioPlan2/CCD 工作站一起使用。 Nikon 和 DeltaVison Core 仪器完全具备活细胞和 FRET 功能，并且均适合多孔板使用。标准 HTM 功能基于两个全自动 Beckman-Coulter IC-100 系统，以及用于流体处理和板装载的机器人平台。高内容分析 (HCA) 支持基于完全可定制的 Pipeline Pilot 图像分析平台。 HTM 和自动图像处理与单克隆抗体（蛋白质组学共享资源）和 RNAi 文库（RNAi 共享资源）的初步筛选具有协同作用，可在单细胞测定中进行高速通路分析。 Hitachi H-7500 传输数字 EM 支持超微结构研究。 IMSR 工作人员包括两名成像技术人员和一名注册电子显微镜技术人员。 IMSR 的目标是通过实验设计方面的合作、所有仪器和软件的用户培训、根据需要由 IMSR 工作人员直接采集或处理图像以及协助数据解释和演示来促进和支持 DLDCC 研究人员。 IMSR 将通过设备拨款和供应商安排继续扩大以满足 DLDCC 的需求，从而为癌症中心研究人员提供基本和领先的成像基础设施和专业知识。
