System provided by Augusta University. Highly configured Nikon AXr-Multiphoton and single-photon confocal microscope system maintained as a major capital equipment investment for fluorescence-based live animal (intravital) imaging and cleared tissue imaging. The system features a fast-speed resonant scanner (4k imaging), a high-resolution galvo scanner (8k imaging), and a specialized piezo stage system for rapid Z-axis volumetric imaging. To maintain strict physiological stability for in vivo subjects without inducing thermal laser shift, the objective and specialized animal stage area are isolated within a custom-engineered $40,000 heated blackout enclosure. It is uniquely configured with specialized large working distance objectives, including a CFI75 Apochromat 1.0 NA 20x Water Immersion objective (2.8mm WD) and a CFI90 1.0 NA 20XC Glycerol Immersion objective (8.2mm WD) to support deep tissue penetration. The instrument operates as a discrete standalone resource dedicated to intravital research; it is physically separated from the main imaging core in a different building and is housed directly within the animal facility.

Web app that adds correct scale bars to microscopy images (SEM, TEM, light, fluorescence, diffraction). It reads the scale from the file metadata (TIFF, DM3/DM4) or from the instrument’s info bar, and exports figures with a calibrated scale bar and a methods sentence for papers.

VSQRD is an AI system for whole-slide image analysis in pathology and histology. The user writes the analysis once as a method in plain language, and VSQRD analyses every slide in a study without further input. For each slide it returns quantitative results, masks that can be viewed over the slide, the assumptions it made, and a full record of its reasoning. It supports H&E and special stains, immunohistochemistry, multiplex fluorescence, and flow and mass cytometry. No annotation or model training is needed.

Core utilizes x-ray instruments capable of irradiating both small animals and cells. Current units in operation include the SmART+, X-RAD 320, and CellRad. The core can perform whole-body irradiations as well as targeted irradiation of small volumes, tumors, and cells at various dose rates. Core technicians will operate the units on the requestor’s behalf. The core also breeds and houses the only WAG/Rij strain rats in the United States which are available for purchase. The core also offers specific animal handling services for an hourly fee which includes jugular bleeding in rats. Consultation for irradiation projects and dosimetry is also available.

Web platform for bright-field spheroid segmentation that combines a large annotated dataset, standardized model benchmarking, and an accessible web-based analysis workflow. Used for deep-learning segmentation and morphometric analysis of tumour spheroids in microscopy images. Users upload images, correct the predicted outlines in an editor, and export masks, polygons and per-image metrics (area, perimeter, circularity and others) without installing anything. A module for disintegrating spheroids segments the dense core and the corona of dispersing cells and returns the outside-core fraction.

Compact, flow-based, bead-based multiplexing platform used for life science and pharmaceutical research to simultaneously measure up to 500 different protein or nucleic acid targets (analytes) in a single small sample well (such as a 96-well or 384-well plate). Uses color-coded microscopic beads (microspheres), where each distinct bead set is coated with a specific capture molecule (like an antibody or oligonucleotide). Incorporates a violet laser alongside the standard lasers, allowing researchers to measure two different parameters per analyte simultaneously (ideal for applications like antibody isotyping or free-versus-bound drug assays).

Spectral flow cytometer is a high-dimensional cell analysis instrument used to measure the physical and chemical characteristics of individual cells and sub-micron particles at a high throughput. Instead of traditional compensation, it collects full emission spectra and uses spectral unmixing to separate overlapping fluorochromes and subtract intrinsic cellular autofluorescence (from molecules like NADH or flavins). This greatly improves the resolution of dim signals and rare cell subsets. Optimized with dual 488 nm and 405 nm side-scatter (SSC) optics to detect and resolve tiny particles down to 80 nm—such as exosomes, platelets, and bacteria—alongside larger cells in the same sample. Features up to 5 lasers and 73 detectors, allowing researchers to simultaneously analyze 40 or more fluorescent markers on a single cell.

Core provides laser-based cell analysis, cell sorting, and technical training to the scientific community. Researchers use standard and full-spectrum flow cytometers (such as the BD FACSCanto II, BD LSR Fortessa, and Cytek Aurora) to analyze the physical and chemical characteristics of single cells or particles (such as cell size, granularity, and multi-parameter fluorescence). The core offers mandatory two-part training (theory and hands-on operation) so researchers can run analyzers independently, operator-assisted sorting services, experimental design consultation, and data analysis software (such as FlowJo).
