CBS hosts an optical imaging facility that houses advanced devices for widespread use by neuroscientists and is developing the next generation of optical techniques. The optical imaging is intended to be an extension of individual labs, housed in shared space. By pooling equipment, highly skilled technical management of the tools is available, allowing for routine technological upgrades, quicker troubleshooting, and expert advice. In addition, the joint space leads to camaraderie amongst users, and allows new technical advances in one lab to spread rapidly to other labs. This core facility also frees up space in individual labs that can be used in other ways. Finally, the shared equipment lowers barriers to adoption of the latest technology. This core facility provides: * Laser scanning microscopes with motorized stages for high throughput reconstructions of the nervous system * A histology suite for brain sectioning and tissue preparation * Stereo fluorescence macroscopes * The newest tools for high-resolution optical microscopy * Ultra-fast optical scanning microscopes

The National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network?s computational activity (NNIN/C) is the computational counterpart of the NNIN experimental initiative. Like the NNIN experimental program, NNIN/C is a multi-university initiative, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF). Harvard University serves as the coordinating hub of NNIN/C, the object of which is to establish a national computing resource that provides hardware resources and simulation tools dedicated to nanoscience research for the academic and industrial research communities. Strong technical and scientific support is provided by staff experts so that the tools and resources can benefit interdisciplinary research. The software tools include commercial software packages for design, characterization and analysis of nanometer scale devices as well as some of the latest academic advances in nanoscale modeling and simulation software. The goals and strategies of NNIN/C are: * Assemble and create a wide suite of robust software that addresses critical issues related to the physical, chemical, and biological properties of artificial and natural nanoscale structures. * Maintain and, where necessary, modify these simulations to address a broad range of research problems. * Provide strong technical support and thorough instruction on the software tools so that even novice users can rapidly develop solutions to their own unique research problems. * Provide web-based graphical user interfaces (GUIs) for user-friendly access to simulation tools as well as web-based resources for instruction and feedback to the community of researchers employing the same tools
