The Image Analysis Facility of the Office of Biotechnology provides 2D and 3D imaging resources for researchers interested in sample measurement or visualization. Services include: 2D image analysis (morphometry, particle analysis, densitometry, etc.), 3D image analysis (volumetric sample measurement) and reconstruction, image editing instruction and photomicroscopy. Analysis is performed with IPLab or Imaris software.
Equipment in the facility includes:
Imaris for 3D reconstruction and image analysis
IPLab for 2D image analysis
Upright microscope with fluorescence
Inverted microscope with fluorescence and DIC
Automated scanning stage with recomposition software for capturing images of large samples at high resolution
Stereo microscope
Digital cameras for all microscopes and copy stand
Laser Capture Microdissection System – LCM
Laser capture microdissection is a system used to identify and retrieve individual cells from tissue sections. The retrieved cells can be used for assessment/analysis of RNA, DNA, protein and other biochemical properties.
