Many research laboratories lack the means (and skilled technicians) by which to maintain sufficiently advanced microscopy and imaging technologies. At City of Hope, we support investigators whose research requires high-quality imagery and comprehensive service.

Our research-grade facility and equipment perfectly enable the observation and documentation you require for publications, for grant proposals, and for education.

The Light Microscopy Digital Imaging Core makes available the latest research platforms for automated microscopy experiments, for advanced observation techniques, and for sophisticated digital image processing and analysis. Our team of researchers and technicians is comprised of experienced specialists who not only provide onboarding and instruction—they also work as consulting practitioners.

Our imaging stations are fully outfitted with the software you’ll need, including advanced high-end imaging workstations for 3D rendering, quantification, and analysis.

We also offer a networked station (suitable for teaching) that allows for remote operation, includes a large, wall-mounted plasma screen, and is portable within the lab.
