November 30, 2005, Melville, NY--Nikon Instruments, the California Institute for Quantitative Biomedical Research (QB3), and the University of California at San Francisco (UCSF) have joined forces to create a collaborative core facility to promote education and innovation in microscopy imaging.

To be housed in the UCSF Mission Bay Campus Center for Advanced Technology in Genentech Hall, the Nikon Imaging Center (NIC) will provide a platform for the development of new microscopy technologies, software, analytic techniques, and imaging methods. The facility will feature specialty Nikon microscopes, including three different kinds of laser-based confocal microscopes: Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence and systems capable of high-content screening.

The facility also offers imaging workstations featuring state-of-the-art live cell biomedical research microscopes, spectral imaging, and physiology imaging workstations, all provisioned with Nikon's advanced quantitative microscopy software and technical support. It will be open to the University's department faculty and staff and to collaborative researchers.

Nikon has also opened Imaging Centers at Harvard University, at the University of Heidelberg in Germany, and Hokkaido University in Japan.
