Whether you’re within the UT system, from another academic institution, or working in a non‑profit or for‑profit entity, the Quantitative Light Microscopy Core (QLMC) aims to provide A‑to‑Z solutions for your microscopy projects. In addition to providing access to high-end microscopy platforms, we can discuss your imaging goals, advise on fluorescent probes, experimental design and sample preparation (to the best of our ability). We help determine the best imaging modality for you and provide personalized microscope training. We can help with customized image quantification, automation of image analysis, and more. Working with us is easy:
