The Microscopy and Imaging Core located in the Center for Cancer Research at MIT has been established to provide expert training and advice in several areas of microscopy and imaging: fluorescence microscopy and deconvolution, spectral karyotyping (SKY), fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH), laser capture micro-dissection, bioluminescence, standard transmission electron microscopy and immunoelectron microscopy.

New user registration forms are available here. Please complete the form for each new request for service (instrument training and sample preparation).

Instrument use (trained users) is scheduled on MIT Tech Time resource calendars. Calendar URLs and access instructions are available here.
