项目摘要

Core B consists of imaging and Information technology components. The primary function of the Imaging Technology Component is to provide the investigators of each of the projects access to state of the art microscope instruments, as well as training, and consultation on the microscopy systems, image processing software, and image analysis procedures. The instruments of the Core consist of imaging systems equipped for atomic force (AFM), epifluorescence, confocal, Forster resonance energy transfer (FRET), total internal reflection fiuorescence (TIRF), and multiphoton microscopy. Additional components and laboratory space will allow investigators to maintain cell culture environmental conditions on the systems for prolonged imaging of live cells and tissues. The services provided by this component of the Core will consist of coordinating the use of the instruments, training on the use of the instruments and imaging software, as well as, day-to-day management of the instruments, performing image analyses and counseling on image acquisition and processing. The principal function of the Information Technology Component will be to service the computational, data storage and analysis software needs of the Program. In coordination with Core A, Core B will maintain a public website for distribution of research news and program activities. The Information Technology Component will also oversee centralize database management that will Include large scale image storage environments, provide for the update software needs of the Imaging Facilities, and provide a resource for system analysis and custom programming. In addition, the Information Technology component of the Core will maintain and coordinate a scheduling program for all Core equipment to track equipment usage. In accordance, the imaging and information components of the Core will coordinate the maintenance of a website for scheduling Core equipment use and for providing training and informational documents for the optimal operation of the systems. The Core personnel will consist of the director, co-director, two technicians and an information specialist. Their duties will consist of training and advising the users, day-today operation of instruments and image analysis software and maintaining the infrastructure in optimal condition. Training for use of any of the systems will be available on demand to all projects. Also, 2 formal training sessions will be held yeariy as an update on any capabilities and improvements. The Director will ensure that Core personnel maintain current knowledge of instrumention operation, software and applications.

核心B由成像和信息技术部分组成。成像技术部分的主要功能是为每个项目的研究人员提供最先进的显微镜仪器，以及有关显微镜系统、图像处理软件和图像分析程序的培训和咨询。核心的仪器由配备原子力（AFM）、落射荧光、共焦、福斯特共振能量转移（FRET）、全内反射荧光（TIRF）和多光子显微镜的成像系统组成。额外的组件和实验室空间将使研究人员能够维持系统上的细胞培养环境条件，以便对活细胞和组织进行长时间成像。核心部分提供的服务包括协调仪器的使用、仪器和成像软件使用培训以及仪器的日常管理、进行图像分析和咨询。图像采集和处理。信息技术部分的主要功能是满足该计划的计算、数据存储和分析软件需求。核心 B 将与核心 A 协调维护一个公共网站，用于发布研究新闻和项目活动。信息技术部分还将监督集中数据库管理，其中包括大规模图像存储环境，满足成像设施的更新软件需求，并为系统分析和定制编程提供资源。此外，核心的信息技术部分将维护和协调所有核心设备的调度程序，以跟踪设备的使用情况。据此，核心的成像和信息部分将协调网站的维护，以安排核心设备的使用，并为系统的最佳运行提供培训和信息文件。核心人员将由主任、副主任、两名技术人员和一名信息专家组成。他们的职责包括对用户进行培训和提供建议、仪器和图像分析软件的日常操作以及将基础设施保持在最佳状态。所有项目都将根据需要提供任何系统使用培训。此外，每年还将举办 2 次正式培训课程，作为任何功能和改进的最新信息。主任将确保核心人员掌握仪器操作、软件和应用的最新知识。
