Mission
The Core Facilities at the IGB is a state-of-the-art resource for biological microscopy and image analysis. The core mission of the facility is to provide IGB faculty, as well as faculty from across campus with the tools and expertise to meet their imaging goals. In addition to providing technical assistance in acquiring and analyzing microscopy images the staff is also able to aid in designing and interpreting experiments.
Education
The Core Facilities train over one hundred new users a year on one or more instruments and are co-hosting a bioimaging camp for middle school girls with GAMES.
Our new user procedures guide new users through the training process. To request training, please fill out our training request form. Users have access to IGB disk space through the IGB computer and network resource group to transfer data.
Collaboration
In addition to the typical fee for training and instrument time, collaborations with the core facilities staff can be beneficial in the development of unique methods or capabilities. Publications containing work preformed in the core facilities should use these guidelines for acknowledging the core facilities.
