The pre-clinical imaging facility offers imaging technology for the research community by providing access to in vivo imaging equipment.
Online scheduling is available only to those individuals who have received training on equipment. Review the Imaging guideline on how to receive training.
The Newton 7.0 FT500 is capable of both bioluminescence (2D and 3D tomography) as well as fluorescence imaging.
Designed for preclinical in vivo imaging of small animals with a fully automated heated stage and an integrated anesthesia system – allowing for up to 5 mice to be imaged simultaneously. (Also capable of ex vivo and in vitro applications.)
Camera – wide aperture (f/0.7) 16-bit cooled CCD camera
Fluorescence – 8 LED excitation channels, and 8 narrow bandpass emission filters for a wide array of fluorophores (420nm – 780nm).
The Pre-Clinical Imaging Facility is hoping to gather some information about potential equipment usage. The link to the survey can be found here. If you have any questions, please contact our RCF Specialist, Colleen Ding at Colleen.Ding@unityhealth.to. Thank you!
The KRCBS Bioimaging Network Attached Storage (NAS) is a 60 TB capacity data storage unit that is on a shared network with all of the imaging facility computers, i.e. both acquisition and analysis workstation. The NAS was implemented to facilitate data transfer from acquisition computers (i.e. computers connected to microscopes) to the analysis computer workstations without the need for external hard drives. In addition, both RAW and processed data can be temporarily stored on the NAS for ongoing projects. For guidelines on how to access and use the Bioimaging NAS please refer to the following instructions.
All analysis workstations are available for remote access using TeamViewer. Please see instructions here for remote access. Important reminder: you will still need to book the workstations using RFBMS for remote usage.
