Morphology and Imaging Core
 

EQUIPMENT I SERVICES I STAFF I CONTACT

The Morphology and Imaging Core (MIC) is a centralized facility designed to service the microanatomical, bioenergetic and imaging needs of all researchers and projects at the Institute as well as a few external users. The function of the Core members ranges from direct participation in the research projects within the Institute to maintenance of the common use equipment and laboratory space.

 

The full-service laboratory customizes and optimizes protocols for histology, cytochemistry, immunostaining, in situ hybridization, functional imaging and image analysis methodologies to meet individual needs. Experiments are conducted using brightfield, DIC, fluorescence, laser confocal, or transmission electron microscopy. State-of-the-art software is employed to analyze and quantify data in up to 4 dimensions. Training is provided in all services offered.

 

The MIC is a major component of the following multi-laboratory grants or centers:

  • Bioenergetics and Imaging Core within the Buck Institute’s Nathan Shock Center for Excellence in the Basic Biology of Aging

  • P30 Core Mass Spectrometry and Imaging Technology in the Buck Institute’s Interdisciplinary Research Center on Geroscience

  • Core B Bioenergetics for the Program Project headed by Dr. Julie Andersen
