Bio-Imaging and Confocal Microscopy

项目摘要-生物成像和共焦显微镜 OHSU的生物成像和共聚焦显微镜核心将为以下方面提供仪器和支持： 荧光和共聚焦显微镜，以及啮齿动物光学相干断层扫描（OCT），以增强和 促进OHSU的视觉研究。主要的仪器和专业知识已经在凯西 眼科研究所（CEI）。CEI过去对成像系统的P30支持非常成功， 在上一个5年资助期内，61份出版物中介绍了所支持的工具。博士 Catherine Morgans是共聚焦和荧光显微镜的专家，她将继续担任 生物成像和共聚焦显微镜核心，以及啮齿动物OCT专家Renee Ryals博士将提供 为OCT新用户提供指导和培训。将向下列人员提供培训机会和获得工具的机会： 所有主要研究者，博士后研究员和研究生在OHSU从事视觉研究。

PROJECT SUMMARY - BIO-IMAGING AND CONFOCAL MICROSCOPY The Bio-Imaging and Confocal Microscopy Core at OHSU will provide instrumentation and support for fluorescence and confocal microscopy, as well as rodent optical coherence tomography (OCT) to enhance and facilitate vision research at OHSU. The major instrumentation and expertise are already in place at the Casey Eye Institute (CEI). Past P30 support of imaging systems at the CEI has been extremely successful, with data from the supported instruments featuring in 61 publications during the previous 5-year funding period. Dr. Catherine Morgans, an expert in confocal and fluorescence microscopy, will continue to serve as Director of the Bio-Imaging and Confocal Microscopy Core, and Dr. Renee Ryals, expert at rodent OCT, will provide guidance and training to new OCT users. Training opportunities and access to instruments will be available to all principal investigators, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students engaged in vision research at OHSU.
