The Advanced Imaging & Microscopy Resource is a trans-NIH shared resource that houses, operates, disseminates, and improves non-commercial, prototype optical imaging systems developed at the NIH. AIM also provides support for advanced image processing, including applications of high-performance computing and artificial intelligence. The facilities at AIM are available for use by the entire NIH intramural research community.

While we welcome users with any size imaging project, AIM specializes in large, year-long (or longer) collaborative research efforts with NIH labs – providing sample preparation, microscope operation and development, and data processing/analysis as needed. We take care of the imaging and processing so that you can focus on the biology.
