Team

Intercaruncular uterine-placental interface of cattle on Day 40 of gestation. Bright immunofluorescence staining identifies trophoblast giant cells expressing pregnancy associated glycoprotein, that mediate blastocyst attachment and support of placentation. Tissues processed and imaged by Drs. Heewon Seo and Greg Johnson.

Services

Airyscansuperresolution image of mitochondria (yellow) and microtubules (red) in live cells in culture and labeled with tracker probes. Image captured with the Zeiss 780 confocal/multiphoton/Airyscan instrument.

Imaging

Ziess-LSM-780 microscope and computer and machines on a desk in a lab

Equipment

TEM image of mouse hepatocytes from liver sections. Scale bar = 1 micrometer. Sample prepared and imaged by Dr. Joseph Szule.

Policies

Caruncular uterine-placental interface of cattle on Day 40 of gestation. Bright immunofluorescence staining identifies trophoblast giant cells (TGCs) expressing pregnancy associated glycoprotein (PAG), that mediate blastocyst attachment and support of placentation. Tissues processed and imaged by Drs. Heewon Seo and Greg Johnson.
