The Flow Cytometry/Fluorescence Imaging Shared Resource provides NCCC investigators with advanced instrumentation for the study of cells. To this end, it aims to provide state-of-the-art flow cytometers and image analysis systems for acquisition of data; to provide computer hardware and software for the analysis of cellular data derived from these instruments; to train scientists in use of the instruments and software; to develop and implement new techniques for cell analysis; and to encourage communication among scientists on methods of common interest. For flow cytometry, the Shared Resource has four Becton Dickinson instruments. A FACStar Plus VIS/UV six-parameter cytometer with TurboSort upgrade is used for sorting and advanced applications. Two FACScan five-parameter cytometers and one FACSCalibur six-parameter cytometer are benchtop cytometers that are used for applications including immunophenotyping, cell cycle analysis, phagocytosis assays, and precursor frequency analysis of proliferating cells. The Resource also has three image analysis systems: a Bio-Rad MRC 1024 laser confocal system, a CompuCyte laser scanning cytometer, and a Zeiss Axiophot photomicroscope with a cooled CCD detector. Funding has just been received from the NIH Shared Instrumentation Grant for the purchase of a new confocal system. There is, within the Shared Resource, a wet lab for cell preparation and a computing area for analysis of flow and imaging data.

流式细胞术/荧光成像共享资源为 NCCC 研究人员提供了 用于细胞研究的先进仪器。为此，它的目标是提供最先进的流式细胞仪和图像分析系统来采集数据；提供计算机硬件和软件来分析从这些仪器中获得的细胞数据；培训科学家使用仪器和软件；开发和实施细胞分析新技术；并鼓励科学家之间就共同感兴趣的方法进行交流。 对于流式细胞术，共享资源有四台 Becton Dickinson 仪器。具有 TurboSort 升级功能的 FACStar Plus VIS/UV 六参数细胞仪用于分选和高级应用。两台 FACScan 五参数细胞仪和一台 FACSCalibur 六参数细胞仪是台式细胞仪，可用于免疫表型分析、细胞周期分析、吞噬作用测定和增殖细胞的前体频率分析等应用。该资源还拥有三个图像分析系统：Bio-Rad MRC 1024 激光共焦系统、CompuCyte 激光扫描细胞仪和带有冷却 CCD 探测器的 Zeiss Axiophot 显微镜。刚刚收到 NIH 共享仪器拨款的资金，用于购买新的共焦系统。共享资源内有一个用于细胞制备的湿实验室和一个用于分析流和成像数据的计算区域。
