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-edge 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.
