The Core Facilities train over one hundred new users a year on one or more instruments and are co-hosting a bioimaging camp for middle school girls with GAMES.Core users are trained to use microscopy, analytical and fabrication equipment housed in the facility. This allows access to the equipment 24 hours a day and provides users with a hands-on knowledge of the tools used in their research. Microscopy training is provided by Mayandi Sivaguru, Histology training is provided by Kingsley Boateng and GCMS training is provided by Austin Cyphersmith. Training on the ABI7900 is provided by Mark Band in the Biotechnology Center.

The Form 2 Desktop 3D printer is able to deliver large prints with incredible resolution. The method used by the majority of 3D printers, fused deposition modeling (FDM), first melts the plastic, then uses a nozzle extruder to print each layer with the molten plastic. The stereolithography (SLA) technology used by the Form 2 directs a 250mW precision laser across a tray of liquid resin causing a thin layer to solidify. This chemical reaction allows for the creation of water-tight prints and is why SLA is the gold standard for accuracy and resolution in 3D printing.

The Nanozoomer slide scanning system provides 460nm resolution scans of complete slides. The Nanozoomer will automatically load slides, choose an area to scan, focus on the tissue sections, and scan the slide. The resulting data files are typically a proprietary file format and can be viewed with the free NDP view software.
NDP.view is required to view these images. Download and install the software before downloading the image files. NDP view runs on 32 bit and 64 bit Windows machines (Windows XP, Windows 7).
