The MIL is a centralized facility of more than 3,000 square feet housing major equipment, used on a shared basis by investigators focusing mainly on studies of cell and tissue morphology and ultrastructure. It is a fee-for-service-based operation open to researchers from all departments within the University, other institutions, and also the industrial research community.
Established in 1978, the laboratory is housed within the department of Cell and Developmental Biology at the University of Michigan Medical School. It is currently staffed by a manager (Chris Edwards), laboratory supervisor (Bruce Donohoe), technical microscopist (Dotty Sorenson), Sasha Meshinchi (Research Assistant I), and instrument analyst (Shelley Almburg).
This facility includes state-of-the-art equipment for microscopic imaging, including fluorescence microscopy, as well as scanning and transmission electron microscopy.
