Light Microscopy/Digital Imaging

Many research laboratories lack the means (and skilled technicians) to maintain sufficient breadth of advanced microscopy and image analysis technologies. At City of Hope, we support investigators whose research requires high-quality 2D, 3D, and 4D data sets, along with training and comprehensive service.  
 
Our research-grade facility and equipment perfectly enable the observation and documentation required for publications, grant proposals, and education. 
 
The Light Microscopy Digital Imaging Core makes available the latest research platforms for automated microscopy experiments, advanced observation techniques, and sophisticated digital image processing and analysis. Our team of researchers and technicians is comprised of experienced specialists who not only provide onboarding and instruction—they also work as consulting practitioners. 
 
The core facility has high-end workstations with the power, memory and graphics cards needed for handling large data sets. These workstations have state of the art image analysis software which can be accessed from other sites on campus. Training and support is available from core staff that have significant expertise in image analysis.
