Project Details

A full spectrum of technology allows organismic study of many levels (cellular, organs, organisms, environments) and interactions. 
 
The Advanced 3D Acquisition, Analysis, Presentation & Exchange (AAPE) facility supports a light and stereo-microscope, a 3D laser digitizer, a 3D high-speed imager, a 3D motion analysis system, a non-linear video editing system, and a graphics computer cluster to process, analyze and exchange images and data. 
 
State-of-the-art instrumentation and computing power permit organismal biologists to reconstruct and quantitatively evaluate organisms on many levels in a 3D space supporting data acquisition, data analysis/presentation, and worldwide data exchange.
