CCR Microscopy Core

Overview of Services

Core Mission
The CCR Microscopy Core is dedicated to supporting the microscopy and digital imaging needs of investigators studying the biological structures and cellular processes central to cancer research. By providing cutting-edge imaging technologies—including confocal, two-photon, super-resolution Airyscan and Structured Illumination (SIM), and Lightsheet microscopy—the Core offers expert consultation in experimental design, sample preparation, image data processing, and analysis. We emphasize training users to become independent in utilizing advanced imaging methods while offering assistance at all stages of their experiments. Through diverse imaging resources, technical expertise, and exceptional customer service, we aim to empower investigators to advance their cancer research.
