Acknowledgements: For the purposes of funding and justification, it is requested that if you use the Imaging Center services for any aspect of your research, teaching or publication, you acknowledge those services as having been provided by the: College of Biological Sciences' Imaging Center at the University of Minnesota.

Collaboration and co-authorship: In some cases it will become obvious that the staff is contributing more than just technical advice to a project. In these cases it may be appropriate that the investigators include the staff member as a co-author. The distinction would be that the staff member is doing work on the project to an extent that is not usually provided to other clients of the Imaging Center, and that he/she is helping interpret and give direction to the portion of the study that deals with microscopy. Co-authorship with Imaging Center personnel will not excuse the investigator from cost recovery for supplies or use of the equipment.
Materials & Methods: Text descriptions of our instrumentation and services for material and methods sections of manuscripts can be provided. Please contact Mark Sanders, msanders@umn.edu
