About the Core

The Image Analysis and Graphics Core is available 24/7 to our vision research faculty and staff. Eligible users are assigned an individual PIN number for room access.

DURING THE COVID PANDEMIC: Only one person should work in the Imaging Core room at a time. If you need to work in there it would be a good idea to check the core grant calendar to see if anyone is scheduled to work in there at the same time. Please reserve a time on the calendar if you need to work in the Imaging Core for an extended period – ideally trying to limit your reserved time to less than 4 hours at a time. Contact Suling if you need access to the calendar.
