CORE--CELL IMAGING

细胞成像核心旨在增强老年医学 Nathan Shock卓越中心成员的研究能力 通过让他们接触到现代成像技术， 以确保适当的技术应用于其特定领域。 研究问题。 本核心的具体目标不仅是提供 设施和仪器，而且技术帮助和建议， 获取细胞图像。 本核心的使用将向双方开放 中心成员和中心外的调查人员，他们是 开展针对老龄化问题的合作研究。 核心 在细胞和组织水平上都配备了良好的仪器， 包括透射和扫描电子显微镜、标准光 和共聚焦显微镜，标本制备设施， 为数字图像提供大量的计算机备份。 调查人员利用这个 核心将在使用仪器方面获得技术援助，或者可能 实际上与适当的调查人员合作， 项目 细胞成像核心将是 细胞生物学实验室（CBL），大学显微镜核心设施 位于解剖学和细胞生物学系。 CBL，它有 已经存在了15年，由一名全职经理服务， 技术人员由各种研究的各种形态核心支付 程序. 它由解剖学和细胞系管理 生物学 休克中心所有研究小组的调查人员计划 使用细胞成像核心

The Cellular Imaging Core is designed to enhance the gerontological research capabilities of members of the Nathan Shock Center of Excellence by giving them access to contemporary imaging technologies and working with them to ensure that the appropriate technology is applied to their specific research problems. Specific aims of this Core are to provide not only the facilities and instrumentation, but also technical help and advice, for the acquisition of cellular imagery. Use of this Core will be open to both members of the Center and to investigators outside the Center, who are conducting collaborative studies that focus on problems in aging. The Core is well equipped with instrumentation at both the cell and tissue level, including transmission and scanning electron microscopes, standard light and confocal microscopes, facilities for specimen preparation, and extensive computer back-up for digital imagery. Investigators using this Core will receive technical assistance in using the instrumentation or may actually collaborate with appropriate investigators on aging-related projects. The Cellular Imaging Core will be an integral component of the Cell Biology Laboratories (CBL), a University microscopy core facility located in the Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology. The CBL, which has been in existence for 15 years, is served by a full-time manager and technician paid by various morphology cores of a variety of research programs. It is administered through the Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology. Investigators from all research groups of the Shock Center plan to use the Cellular Imaging Core.
