The Cellular Imaging Core houses modern light microscopy and digital image processing equipment to support cell biology research at our facility as well as other institutions. Established in 2000 to provide state-of-the-art equipment in microscopy and digital imaging to investigators at CHLA. Core personnel perform microscopy and image analysis on research samples and also provide ongoing training and education in the use of the imaging instruments and software, provides consultation regarding experimental approach, recent literature, new methods, and assists with grant and manuscript preparation.
Services
The Imaging Scientist provides expert consultation on the design, execution, and analysis of fixed and live cell imaging experiments. Please contact the Imaging Scientist directly to arrange access and training in the utilization of Core facilities.
Equipment
All microscopes are equipped with high-resolution objective lenses and digital cameras to produce the highest quality images and time-lapse movies.

The primary focus of the Cellular Imaging Core is technology transfer and provision of facilities for acquisition and analysis of histological and cytological preparations. An important aspect of this technology transfer is to provide training in the use of digital imaging devices, as well as in the application of image analysis procedures for generation of quantitative data.
