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 Optical Imaging Facility (OIF) is core facility established to provide the equipment, training, technical and scientific expertise necessary to optimally carry on applications requiring image capture and processing from live and fixed specimens. The facility houses widefield fluorescence microscope imaging systems, a laser confocal microscope and other standard equipments for sample preparation and live cell culture and maintenance. The OIF also provide services for the preparation of specimens through its Immunocytochemistry Laboratory and technical support for each of the components. Our continuation goal is to support and help our faculty to identify and develop relevant research that would address significant health issues in our local community. In order to accomplish the OIF mission, our specific aims are: 1. To provide technical support to optimally perform studies that requires immunocytochemistry and quantitative fluorescence imaging capture and analysis. 2. To provide instrument access and training on the effective utilization of microscope-based equipment to carry on applications that rely on image capture and processing from live and fixed specimens. 3. To disseminate through the academic community in Puerto Rico the capabilities of the OIF and the achievements of its users through the offering of seminars, workshops on imaging technology and maintaining a website that includes information about the facility operation, instrumentation reservation and other educational resources. 4. To enhance UCC's scientific environment by providing young faculty and graduate students state of the art imaging technology to obtain preliminary data to apply for external funding and helping established investigators to innovate their research and increase their publication record.

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来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 光学成像设施（OIF）是核心设施，旨在提供必要的设备，培训，技术和科学专业知识，以最佳方式进行需要从活体和固定标本中捕获和处理图像的应用。该设施拥有宽视场荧光显微镜成像系统，激光共聚焦显微镜和其他标准设备，用于样品制备和活细胞培养和维护。 法语国家组织还通过其免疫细胞化学实验室提供标本制备服务，并为每个组成部分提供技术支持。我们的持续目标是支持和帮助我们的教师确定和发展相关的研究，将解决我们当地社区的重大健康问题。 为了完成法语国家组织的使命，我们的具体目标是： 1. 提供技术支持，以优化需要免疫细胞化学和定量荧光成像捕获和分析的研究。 2. 提供仪器使用和培训，以便有效利用基于显微镜的设备，开展依赖于从活标本和固定标本采集和处理图像的应用。 3. 通过波多黎各学术界宣传法语国家组织的能力及其用户的成就，办法是举办关于成像技术的研讨会和讲习班，并维持一个网站，其中包括关于设施运作、仪器保留和其他教育资源的信息。 4. 通过为年轻的教师和研究生提供最先进的成像技术来获得初步数据以申请外部资金，并帮助已有的研究人员创新他们的研究并增加他们的出版记录，从而增强UCC的科学环境。
