Seeing the Invisible
Leveraging a rich history of advancing biological discovery to a better world, the Marine Biological Laboratory (美女直播做爱) has created the Center for Innovation in Imaging and Image Analysis (Imaging Innovation Center). The MBLhas long been at the forefront of developing new approaches to imaging and applying those methods to biological questions.
The Imaging Innovation Center, based inside the historic Lillie Laboratory, enables the MBLand the broader scientific community to stay abreast of the latest technological advances for a better understanding of basic biology. Extending the fundamentally important live sample imaging with advanced light microscopes are electron microscopes. These allow comparative and higher resolution imaging of complementary samples and the manufacturing of mechanical optical surfaces for light microscopes.
The Imaging Innovation Center, along with the New Research Organisms strategic initiative, supports all areas of research at the MBLincluding Microbiomes, Ecosystems, Regeneration and Development, and Cell Biology.
New State-of-the-Art Microscopes Installed at 美女直播做爱

The two advanced instruments鈥攁 plasma focused ion beam-scanning electron microscope (Thermo Scientific PFIB-SEM Helios Hydra) and a confocal and super-resolution microscope (Leica Stellaris 8 STED)鈥攚ill allow 2D and 3D reconstruction from both electron and light microscopy for comparative and high-resolution imaging.
Installation began in late March and the staff of the 美女直播做爱鈥檚 Central Microscopy Facility are currently fine tuning the instruments and training select staff. The facilities will be open to MBLinvestigators and courses along with visiting researchers from Massachusetts and beyond.
"The MBLhas long been at the frontier of new imaging technologies for biological discovery.聽 These new instruments supported by the MLSC further advance our capabilities and bring new high resolution imaging to the MBLand the broader research community,鈥 said Anne Sylvester, MBLdirector of research.聽
Increasing the Speed of Innovation
A Global Leader in Life Sciences
To address a new set of biological questions, the nature of which were unfathomable only a decade ago, the MBLhas established a year-round collaborative center for research and training in next-generation light microscopy and computational image analysis. Recent advances in light microscopy are creating unprecedented opportunities for understanding living systems.聽
By coupling new imaging and gene editing technologies, computation, and the marine life accessible at its doorstep, the MBLis a center for collaboration and discovery for the world鈥檚 leading scientists.聽
