Services
The CBIA core facility works to provide a holistic model of support to users from initial consultation, training, follow up consultations and image analysis to support your research. Basic support (excluding training) is free for users to ensure high level understanding of imaging experiments and systems used. See below for examples of support we offer to users:
- Experimental design consultation
- Fluorophore choice and microscopy platform matching
- Imaging parameter advice
- Post-acquisition and image analysis consultation for the development of analysis workflow. We can provide support using Fiji (ImageJ), Zen (from Zeiss), AutoQuant, Imaris.
Training and advanced support from technical staff is a charge for use service.
Pricing
User fees apply only to specific equipment and are used to offset some of the expenses incurred in the operation of the facility, and to maintain service contracts. For billing, each principal investigator will be invoiced with details of the charges incurred, and the indicated cost center will be debited. Charges are tracked based on logging of microscope use on the iLab kiosk. It is the responsibility of the user to accurately log all use.
Annual Membership fees will be billed at the beginning of the fiscal Year (April 1st). Should you choose not to renew your membership with the CBIA Core please notify facility staff promptly before the bill date.
