The Cell & Developmental Biology (CDB) Microscopy Core is located in the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. Our facility houses thirteen light microscopes, a scanning electron microscope (SEM), and three image analysis workstations. We are open to the entire University of Pennsylvania community as well as to researchers from other institutions and companies in the area. Our services include assisted imaging sessions, in-depth training on our microscopes, and consultation on sample preparation or image analysis.
