Did you know that...

There is a way to count cells, measure their fluorescence, and even sort out specifically labelled sub-populations of cells?

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

Mis-calibrated computer monitors can throw off the colors in your carefully prepared publication figures?

Sharing image files between multiple computers often means that somewhere in the handling process the image will be viewed or possibly manipulated using a monitor (CRT, LCD, Laptop screen) that is

There are number of small animal imaging resources on campus?

Bioluminescence/Fluorescence - A Spectral Instruments Imaging Lago X for bioluminescence and fluorescence

There are national lists of core facilities to help you discover specialty services?

Some scientific and analytical techniques are so specialized that there may not be a core facility at the University of Arizona that does what you need.
