项目摘要-生物成像和共聚焦显微镜 OHSU的生物成像和共聚焦显微镜核心将提供仪器和支持 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。主要的仪器设备和专业知识已经在Casey 眼科研究所(CEI)。过去P30对CEI成像系统的支持非常成功，数据显示 来自上一个五年资助期内61份出版物所提供的支助文书。Dr。 共焦显微镜和荧光显微镜专家凯瑟琳·摩根将继续担任 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 对OCT新用户的指导和培训。将提供培训机会和使用仪器的机会 OHSU所有从事视觉研究的主要研究人员、博士后研究员和研究生。

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.
