We are here to help you acquire and analyze high quality image data
What we can do for you:
At the ALMC we will maximize your chances of success by:
- Consulting with you about your project’s imaging and analysis needs
- Advising you on experimental design, sample preparation, and analysis strategy
- Training you to take images of your own samples and take advantage of our advanced image analysis tools
Please reach out as early as possible in your project design. Find more information about our instrumentation here.
We support common technologies such as laser scanning and spinning disk confocal microscopy, as well as more advanced modalities such as super resolution, multi photon excitation, and light sheet imaging. Our team has extensive expertise with time lapse imaging of live samples. We also offer slide scanning services for imaging whole slides. Drop off your slides and receive data back within a week.
We also assist you in designing analysis strategies for 2D, 3D, and 4D data using ZEN, Imaris, arivis, and Visiopharm platforms.
