The Nikon Imaging Center at Harvard Medical School (NIC@HMS) is a core light microscopy facility that provides state-of-the-art imaging equipment and expertise to members of the basic science departments at Harvard Medical School. The NIC@HMS contains fully automated widefield epi-fluorescence/transmitted light microscopes, laser scanning confocals, spinning disk confocals, total internal reflection fluorescence microscopes, FRAP/photo-activation capabilities, and N-STORM super-resolution imaging. The NIC@HMS microscopes are equipped with detectors, software, optics, motorization and environmental control that are optimized and maintained for live specimen and quantitative fluorescence applications. The Director of the NIC@HMS since 2001, Jennifer Waters, has a Ph.D. in Biology and over 20 years experience with quantitative light microscopy. She advises faculty, post-docs and graduate students on imaging approaches for a wide range of specimens and applications. Dr. Waters and her staff train all NIC@HMS users on the proper use of equipment. The NIC@HMS also offers light microscopy workshops, courses and seminars on a variety of light microscopy topics.
