Shared Resources - Central Microscopy Research Facility

中央显微镜 显微镜仍然是实验室和临床癌症研究的核心。中央显微镜研究机构(CMRF)的主要目标是向对使用显微镜技术进行癌症研究感兴趣的HCCC调查人员提供服务和指导。CMRF为劳务提供技术援助 技术密集，容易获得高度专业化和昂贵的设备。它支持由所有6个研究项目的成员进行的癌症研究。HCCC调查人员可获得的具体服务包括与组织准备、固定和染色有关的专业知识，用于： 1)光学显微镜 2)组织化学和荧光显微镜 3)共焦显微镜、多光子显微镜和电子显微镜 4)原位杂交 5)元素和化学表征 5)使用IVIS成像系统的活体小动物成像 CMRF在与癌症研究相关的新的和专门的形态方法的开发和应用方面为HCCC研究人员提供咨询和援助。2009年，80个获得同行评议资金的母婴协委会成员利用了CMRF。

Central Microscopy Microscopy remains central to both laboratory and clinical cancer research. The principal goal of the Central Microscopy Research Facility (CMRF) is to provide services and instruction to HCCC investigators interested in using microscopy technology for cancer research. The CMRF provides technical assistance for labor intensive techniques and ready access to highly specialized and expensive equipment. It supports cancer research being done by members of all 6 research programs. Specific services available to HCCC investigators include expertise related to tissue preparation, fixation and staining for: 1) Light microscopy 2) Histochemical and fluorescence microscopy 3) Confocal, multiphoton and electron microscopy 4) In situ hybridization 5) Elemental and chemical characterization 5) In vivo small animal imaging using the IVIS imaging system The CMRF provides consultation and assistance to HCCC investigators in the development and application of new and specialized morphological methods relevant to cancer research. In 2009, 80 HCCC members with peer reviewed funding utilized the CMRF.
