Dear Colleagues,
We are now accepting proposals from scientists who would like to conduct experiments at the Advanced Imaging Center (AIC) at Janelia Research Campus. The deadline to submit a proposal is January 31, 2023 at 17:00 (US Eastern Time).
The RII Core Facilities Pilot Program is designed to support three key types of activity within the RII-managed core facilities. Each CFPP proposal will be evaluated on scientific merit and feasibility, and should focus on one or more of the following activity types:
Leica Microsystems will be offering an introductory webinar and then an on-site demonstration of their Stellaris 5 confocal microscope. See their flier for more details.

Multi-dimensional live and fixed microscope data can be collected in many ways and with a wide range of imaging modalities to help advance cellular, animal and large sample/cleared sample imaging to the next level.
The 8th Charleston Workshop on LIGHT MICROSCOPY FOR THE BIOSCIENCES (LMB) will provide a solid introduction to the concepts and practical applications of light microscopy relevant to modern cell and molecular biology under the direction of Dr. John J. Lemasters.
QFM 2023 is an international course in fluorescence microscopy and imaging for advanced graduate students, postdoctoral trainees, imaging core managers and researchers at all levels who are incorporating the technology into their laboratories.
The expansion microscopy user group brings together researchers to share experiences to enable rapid uptake of the technology. The group is open to anyone interested including all career stages and levels of experience with expansion microscopy.
Did you know that...
iLab is the cloud-based software used by many UA core facilities to schedule instruments and/or to request services. It's powerful software, but that can make it a bit intimidating as well.
There are a number of interesting and (perhaps) unexpected core facilities on campus. If you need to repair a piece of equipment or perhaps build something very specific, check out:
This is an amazing offer, underwitten by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute as well as the Gordon & Betty Moore Foundation. The call for proposals goes out twice a year.
Flow Cytometry passes individual cells inside a thin stream of liquid through a light cell that exposes the cells to different laser lines. Fluorescence, as well as light scattering can be
