Bioimaging Lab

Catalog description

Provides a fundamental understanding of light-based microscopy through the training and use of instruments contained within the Biodesign Imaging Facility (part of the Advanced Light Microscopy Facility, ASU Biosciences Core). Examines the use and research applications of bright field, contrast, epi-fluorescent, total internal reflective fluorescence (TIRF), confocal and super-resolution microscopy modalities. Gives additional focus to image ethics, analysis and presentation using programs such as Elements and FIJI. During the second half of the semester, students propose and develop an experimental project based on their graduate research in which they collect data, do analysis and prepare results for a final project presentation.
