Affiliated Facilities
In addition to the microscopes found in many investigator’s labs, the University has a number of facilities that are affiliated with the Cellular Imaging Core. We are very familiar with the instruments, their capabilities, and with the service facility staff.
Consultation & additional support
The Cellular Imaging Core is ready and available to come alongside SWEHSC investigators and their labs to ensure the best possible research outcomes.
In addition to the affiliated facilities, we have included other resources that may be of interest. Note: links from this page go out to the UA Microscopy Alliance website, or other service facilities' websites.

Instruments & software tools:
- Color brightfield light microscope – Leica DMI6000 with Leica DFC450 color CCD camera
- Brightfield light microscope with greyscale camera - Olympus IMT-2 with Hamamatsu ORCA-100 CCD camera
- Color brightfield whole microscope slide scanner – Currently none available, but the Leica DMI6000 can stitch together multiple images over large areas. We currently are working with others on campus to bring a device like this to a UA service facility.
