The Michael Hooker Microscopy Facility is a research
microscopy facility in the Thurston Bowles building at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.
The facility provides standard and advanced digital light microscopy and image
processing resources to users from the UNC Chapel Hill campus on a
fee for use basis.
Instrumentation and instruction are provided to enable users to acquire,
process and analyze images from samples they have prepared, or we can
acquire data with you. Funding assistance may be obtained from the
CTSA Pilot Grant
program to Core
Facilities (guidelines). |
