The Analytical Imaging Facility provides a comprehensive light and electron microscope imaging facility dedicated to bringing state of the art methods in modern imaging to biomedical scientists with all levels of expertise. The AIF staff has been cross-trained to offer a seamless transition from classical histology, to high resolution light microscope imaging in 3D, to state of the art electron microscopy. This unified approach facilitates the efficient and appropriate complementary use of these methods in research.
For the infrequent user, the AIF provides a completely assisted technical support service. For the trained microscopist, the AIF is an available equipment resource. A significant effort is devoted to training investigators who require microscopy techniques to advance their projects.
