On Sept. 28, the University of Iowa Central Microscopy Research Facility hosted a meeting of the Iowa Microscopy Society Symposium, which draws researchers and enthusiast from all over Iowa. At the annual event, the Iowa Microscopy Society invited members to showcase the natural artistry they observe under the microscope with its “Iowa Art in Science” competition. This year’s top-three winners are...

Tucked away in the basement of the Eckstein Medical Research Facility is one of the most comprehensive microscopy research facilities in the country. The UI Central Microscopy Research Facility (CMRF) is equipped with two things critical to any researcher’s needs: millions of dollars of top-of-the-line, well-maintained microscopy equipment and a dedicated, knowledgeable staff who specialize in the...

The University of Iowa Office of the Vice President for Research and Economic Development (OVPR&ED) invites faculty researchers to submit applications for the 2016 Central Microscopy Research Facility (CMRF) Pilot Project Seed Grant Program. The program offers small grants for gathering preliminary data and developing research skills using CMRF resources. Related: UI Central Microscopy Research...

The Hubble Space Telescope is a powerful scientific data collecting tool, but perhaps the majority of us are first captured by the exquisite images of the Butterfly Nebula and the Tadpole Galaxy. At the UI Central Microscopy Research Facilities, their powerful microscopes are like the Hubble in reverse: dynamic scientific tools capable of drawing out beauty on an extremely small scale.

The University of Iowa Office of the Vice President for Research and Economic Development has launched a pilot seed grant program to encourage researchers to use the Central Microscopy Research Facility (CMRF) to help secure further external funding. Established in 1973 and located in the Eckstein Medical Research Facility, the CMRF provides instrumentation and technical assistance to research...
