In vivo microscopy
With support from the Olympus Corporation, the CSB in vivo Microscopy Core offers state-of-the-art intravital flourescence imaging capability. The mission of the Facility is to
- Perform basic research using state-of-the-art optical imaging equipment
- Develop new applications and techniques aimed at understanding, biology
- Provide the MGH community with access to innovative new imaging systems
- Provide training and serve as a learning resource
Related imaging resources at CSB with additional capabilities can be found at the Mouse Imaging Platform, the Advanced Microscopy Platform and the Microscopy Core.
