Imaging Core


Co-Directors: Dr. Erin Harmon and Dr. Chun-Hung Chan

Staff: Kelly Graber

Mission Statement: 
The primary mission of the Sanford Research Imaging Core is to facilitate the microscopic imaging needs of Sanford Research/USD and our affiliated research institutions.

Services available:
The Sanford Research Imaging Core utilizes light and confocal microscopy to visualize both living and fixed cells.  We are equipped with two confocal microscopes (Olympus FV1000 and FV300), capabilities for 4-color simultaneous imaging, Imaris image analysis software, and multiple light microscopes. We assist our researchers with immuno-fluorescent staining, tagged fluorescent protein visualization, FRET and BRET analyses, and 3-dimensional image reconstruction.
