Ragon Institute Microscopy Core
Core Overview
The Ragon Institute’s Microscopy Core provides cutting-edge imaging technologies to answer fundamental questions in immunology and infectious disease research. Our services include slide scanning, confocal microscopy, lightsheet microscopy, multispectral imaging, live-cell imaging, super-resolution imaging, and imaging flow cytometry.
We provide assistance with experimental design, sample preparation, imaging, and analysis as well as training for use of our systems. Our facility is open to both external and internal users.
