Operations and Maintenance Support for UBC Bioimaging Facility

不列颠哥伦比亚省生物成像设施(BIF)是加拿大西部最全面的生物成像设施，也是卑诗省独有的，它提供了其他北美设施所不具备的三项功能：(1)完整的管理结构，包括咨询委员会、学术主任、研究经理和训练有素的技术人员；(2)全面的光学显微镜单位，包括组织培养、共焦和多光子成像以及图像处理和分析；以及(3)生物电子显微镜单位，包括与徕卡微系统公司的合作伙伴关系。BIF由植物系管理，其人员包括一名学术主任(Tier 1 CRC Geoffrey Wasteneys)、一名研究经理(Garnet Marten)和三名技术人员(EM专家德里克·霍恩和布拉德福德·罗斯以及光学显微镜专家凯文·霍奇森)。

The UBC Bioimaging Facility (BIF) is the most comprehensive bioimaging facility in Western Canada and unique to BC and offers a combination of three things that no other North American facility does: (1) a complete management structure including an advisory committee, an academic director, a research manager and highly trained technical staff, (2) a comprehensive light microscopy unit with tissue culture, confocal and multi-photon imaging and image processing and analysis, and (3) a biological electron microscopy unit including a partnership with Leica Microsystems. BIF is administered by the Department of Botany and its personnel comprise an Academic Director (Tier 1 CRC Geoffrey Wasteneys), a Research Manager (Garnet Martens), and three technicians (EM specialists Derrick Horne and Bradford Ross and light microscopy specialist Kevin Hodgson).
