点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

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. Our facility provides light microscopy, stereology, digital imaging, histology, and consultation services. Our goal is to assist faculty, staff, and students with their research needs for qualitative and quantitative applications. We can assist with the production of publication quality images and offer consultation on experimental approaches for use with our equipment. Instrumentation housed in our facility is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for trained CNPRC users. Consultation, training, and support service, along with access to the equipment for other departments, is available from 8-5 Monday through Friday. The facility houses the following equipment: + A Cryostat for frozen sections. + Microtomes for paraffin or plastic sectioning. + An Olympus BX61 research microscope with SIS image analysis software and Intelligent Imaging Innovations Slidebook software for stereology and data collection. + A second Olympus BX61 microscope with Intelligent Imaging Innovations Slidebook software for stereology technique development by the Core's staff. + A graphics workstation, a flatbed scanner, and a high-quality color printer. + A Delta Vision Microscopy System for very high resolution multi-dimensional fluorescence imaging. + A CAST Grid Stereology System for data collection. + A computer workstation for offline analysis of stereology data. + PhotoShop and Illustrator software. + A fluorescence stereomicroscope. + A dual-head brightfield stereomicroscope.
