Waksman Institute Shared Imaging Facility

Overview of Services

The Waksman Institute Shared Imaging Facility is located on Busch Campus of Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. Our Facility provides training and access to cutting edge optical imaging capabilities on four fluorescent microscopes and two image analysis workstations and provides researchers the ability to image a variety of sample types. Some of the Facility microscope features include deconvolution, quantification, co-localization, FRET, FRAP, FLIM, time-lapse, spinning disk super resolution (SRRF-Stream), photo-ablation optogenetics, structured illumination super resolution (SIM, SMLM and TIRF) and SIM widefield (WF), as well as software tools for image analysis. We are open to researchers from Rutgers University as well as from other institutions and companies in the area. Our services include consultation for instrument selection, training, technical support, individual use by trained and approved researchers, and consultation on image analysis. We do not provide sample prep services.
