HISTOLOGY CORE

该核心的目标是为听力和平衡中心以及相关的人员提供教职人员 实验室，可以获得组织学设备、专业知识和援助。可视化和 与生理、发育和/或塑性相关的结构特征的量化 周围和中枢神经系统内的现象提供了推断所需的基本数据 神经功能的基本机制。但随着科学的日益专业化，费用 此类研究的难度可能使大多数实验室无法进行。共同资源培育 具有不同技能的科学家之间的合作可能是实现令人兴奋的关键 连接不同层次分析的研究项目。解剖学数据经常支持这种桥梁。 组织学核心将继续提供帮助以及工具和指导。 组织制备和光学显微镜切片所需的资源。这包括塑料嵌入式 和冰冻切片。核心提供并维持光/荧光化合物 带有用于图像采集的数码相机和用于分析的辅助工作站的显微镜。此外 Core 将通过经验丰富的电子显微镜专家的服务实现超微结构研究。

The goal of this Core is to provide faculty in the Center for Hearing and Balance, and associated laboratories, with access to histological equipment and expertise and assistance. The visualization and quantification of structural features that correlate with physiological, developmental, and/or plastic phenomena within the peripheral and central nervous systems provide fundamental data necessary to infer basic mechanisms of neural function. But with the increasingly specialized nature of science, the expense and difficulty of such studies can place them out of reach for most laboratories. Common resources foster collaborations between scientists with different skill sets and can be the key to implementing exciting research projects that bridge different levels of analysis. Anatomical data frequently support this bridge. The Histology Core will continue to provide assistance as well as access to, and instruction in the tools and resources required for tissue preparation and sectioning for light microscopy. This includes both plasticembedded and frozen sections. The Core provides and maintains a light/fluorescence compound microscope with digital camera for image acquisition and auxiliary workstations for analysis. In addition the Core will enable ultrastructural studies through the services of an experienced electron microsopist.
