The CMNS Imaging Incubator facility provides researchers with the opportunity to image live, fixed, unlabeled or fluorescently labeled samples using one of several advanced light microscope systems. Faculty, post-docs, graduate and undergraduate students with any level of experience, from any department, are invited to use the facility's microscopes. Outside users are welcome, as well, though priority goes to UMD researchers.
