Although most investigators incorporate tissue imaging in their studies, these imaging methods are conducted with varying degrees of technical sophistication, anatomical detail, tissue quality, and technical expertise. In nearly all cases, there is potential for technical refinement when assisted by experienced laboratory personnel. To provide this critical technical support and improved application of digital imaging in ongoing, pending, and new studies, we will continue to operate the Imaging Core. The Imaging Core supports all 13 Core Center investigators, funded by the NIDCD and other institutes, with strong focus and a substantial record of accomplishments in imaging the peripheral and central auditory and vestibular sensory pathways. We will continue to centralize expertise in light, confocal and electron- microscopic imaging to enhance presently-funded research projects, permit development of new projects, and stimulate collaborations between participating investigators. The Imaging Core will: 1. Provide administrative and technical oversight to improve facility function. 2. Provide personnel who will assist investigators with current and new studies. 3. Provide access to well-maintained equipment in a more cost-efficient and effective manner. 4. Provide training to investigators and their staffs to improve application of existing technical capabilities. The Imaging Core will be co-directed by Dennis Trune and Peter Steyger. By providing services not available through existing grants, the Imaging Core will enhance current, planned and future new research projects carried out by Core-facility users and stimulate productive collaborations.

尽管大多数研究者都将组织成像纳入其研究，但仍进行了这些成像方法 具有不同程度的技术成熟，解剖学细节，组织质量和技术专长。 在几乎所有情况下，在经验丰富的实验室协助时，都有可能进行技术改进 人员。为了提供这种关键的技术支持并改善了数字成像在正在进行中的应用， 待处理和新研究，我们将继续运行成像核心。 成像核心支持由NIDCD和其他机构资助的所有13个核心中心调查员， 在成像外围和中央听觉方面的重点和成就的大量记录 和前庭感觉途径。我们将继续以光线，共聚焦和电子方式集中专业知识 微观成像以增强目前资助的研究项目，允许开发新项目， 并刺激参与研究人员之间的合作。成像核心将： 1。提供行政和技术监督以改善设施功能。 2.提供将为调查人员提供当前和新研究的人员。 3。以更具成本效益和有效的方式提供对维护良好的设备的访问。 4.向调查人员及其员工提供培训，以提高现有技术能力的应用。 成像核心将由Dennis Trune和Peter Steyger共同指导。通过提供不可用的服务 通过现有赠款，成像核心将增强当前，计划和未来的新研究项目 由核心用户执行并刺激生产性合作。
