Overview
The imaging module has been divided into two major areas to better meet the needs of researchers. The two areas are Digital Imaging and Microscopy Based Digital Imaging. This division of this module allows the personnel involved to utilize their areas of expertise to the fullest extent. Digital Imaging Module The purpose of this division is to provide advice, guidance and training in the management of digital images, as well as to provide highly specialized ophthalmic photography services. This division assists Core Grant investigators in producing scientific posters and publication quality graphics. Additionally a Certified Retinal Angiographer is available to provide imaging of the anterior and posterior segments of both large and small animals. This photographer also provides general photography services to Core Grant investigators. Microscopy Based Imaging Module This division of the module was created to meet the ever increasing demand of microscopy based services by Core Grant investigators. The VSRC has invested heavily in this division of the module with an emphasis on being able to provide Core Grant investigators access to experienced personnel and state of the art equipment to meet not only live cell imaging needs but also basic microscopy needs as well. Additionally, Metamorph image analysis software is being used in the module to not only save time and resources but also to generate reproducible results.
