The NIF is an
Open Access Microscopy and Tissue Core
servicing the Boston area (and beyond) for light microscopy and tissue processing
Sadly, due to the current budgetary situation, we have closed our In Situ and staining services core. I apologize for the sudden change in services offered.
The Neurobiology Imaging Facility is a completely open access light microscopy and tissue core located within the Neurobiology Department.
Our mission is to advance research by providing services in optical imaging, tissue clearing, in situ hybridization as well as introduce new equipment and cutting technology to the basic science community. We provide expertise, equipment and services that are costly, time consuming and technically difficult. Our core ensures consistency and precision. We are also a teaching facility that strives to provide learning opportunities to researchers in the greater Boston area.
The NIF currently offers use and training on MINFLUX super-resolution microscope. The system is a dual line (560/640nm) system capable of resolving single particles to 3nm in imaging mode and 1nm in particle tracking mode. Reach out to Michelle Ocana for details and sample prep protocols.
