Services

Our primary focus is to provide help and consultation to BRFAA investigators. However the unit is also open to external users (for a fee) and/or collaborators. BIU scientific personnel have many years of research experience in optical microscopy and the application of imaging technology to biology and medicine. Assistance for projects requiring intensive image processing and analysis is provided through scientific collaborations.  Please contact us for more information.
