BioImaging Shared Resource

This past Fall, the BioImaging Shared Resource hosted eight (8) seminars to introduce the community to the latest technology from select vendors.  Many thanks are owed to the numerous vendors and staff that helped make this possible.  The topics covered are below.  Please contact the BISR if there are any topics you'd like to see in our next series.

The BISR Open House was a wonderful success.  The student posters presented that day will be on display outside the core for the next few months.  Please come by and explore some of the resaerch being done at the SKCCC BioImaging Shared Resource.

Winter 2025: The BioImaging Shared Resource is exploring new systems for the 2025 Shared Instrumentation Grant cycle.  Stay tuned for demo schedules.

Each year, experts in the field of microscopy and quantitative imaging host intensive training courses in several renowned educational destinations.  Selection processes are rigorus, but the opportunity is unrivaled.

Join your peers from around the world for these incubators of education and collaboration.

Fluorescence microscopy requires the use of intense illumination at specific wavelengths, traditionally in the visible spectrum.  For decades, this illumination relied on mercury based lamps, which had relatively short lifespans and unreliable intensities.  With the introduction of LED-based light sources, fluorescence research no longer needs to rely on these outdated, costly, and environmentally hazardous mercury sources.  The BISF is seeking to remove and replace all mercury sources on campus with their LED counterparts, but it starts with knowing more about the mercury footprint at Jefferson.  If your lab works with fluorescent microsopes, please fill out the survey below.

Light microscopy has changed the way data are collected, from the early days of modeln visualization and illustration to database mining massive data sets for trends.  The inherent data within these images is extracted, measured, and comapred through quantitative image analysis.  This is an aspect to modern microscopy that we at the BISR would like grow in our offerings.  To help us learn about your lab's analysis methods and needs, please fill out the survey below.

Effective presentation of microscopy data is critical part of digital imaing.  The BioImaging Shared Resource would like to explore this in an informal journal club.  To learn more and be added to our email list, please fill out the survey below.
