The Frits and Rita Markus Bio-Imaging Resource Center provides researchers with training, advice and access to instrumentation and image analysis for state-of-the-art optical imaging using widefield, confocal, multiphoton, light-sheet and super-resolution microscopy. Consultation on sample preparation and labeling procedures is also provided. Researchers are trained to use the microscopes and image acquisition software themselves, with staff assistance when necessary to ensure collection of high quality images. More complex work can also be performed on a collaborative basis with the staff of the center. The center has seven full-time research support staff including the director. The center is staffed during business hours, and under an open-access model, trained investigators can use the facility 24/7. In addition, many of the systems can be operated remotely via the center's online facility management software.
