When fully implemented, the key functional capabilities of this core will be:

(1)  Imaging; in vivo imaging of ocular tissues including anterior and posterior chamber, and the posterior pole (retina) using conventional photography and spectral domain OCT;

(2)  Computational Support for light and confocal data analysis, including 3D rendering, volume deconvolution of light and confocal data; and

(3)  Structural Analysis by electron microscopy (transmission and scanning), including tissue preparation, sectioning, and microscopy.
