Workstations and Software

For intensive multidimensional image processing the Microscopy and Advanced Bioimaging CoRE houses:  An image analysis Server (Acquifer HIVE) with 512GB of RAM, 32 Processing Cores, and an Nvidia A6000 48GB GPU; A high-end workstation (2TB RAID0 NVMe-SSD, 128GB RAM, 2x 8-Core Xeon @2.6GHz, 16GB Nvidia Pascal VRAM); A RAID6 100TB upgradeable file server with top-of-the-line read/write speeds; A networking module which in combination with our 10Gbit local network allows extremely fast transfers and on-the-fly as well as offline analyses from imaging stations. In addition, the Core has two high-end workstations for 4D analysis and two mid-level workstations used for 2D/3D analysis and open-source pipeline development. Each microscope is equipped with a high-end workstation also capable of on-the-fly image processing. The High-Content Screener is connected to a server (90TB RAID5, 96GB RAM, 2x 4-Core Xeon @2.6GHz) that handles the SQL database and which can be used for other applications as well.  

Please consult with us for all image acquisition and analysis needs.
