The Biological Microscopy and Image Reconstruction Resource is located in the Wadsworth Laboratories, Empire State Plaza, Albany, New York 12201. This research and service facility is a part of the New York State Department of Health, which has a longstanding commitment to basic biomedical research. The Resource is supported, in part, by the State of New York, and as a National Biotechnological Resource by NIH National Center for Research Resources grant P41 RR 01219. The Biotechnological Resource was established in 1981. Its facilities are available without charge to approved biomedical researchers.
Prospective users of the BMIRR should contact the Resource Director, Dr. Conly Rieder, for additional information and a very brief application form. Once the application is returned to Dr. Rieder, it will be evaluated by the Resource Executive Committee and, if approved, assigned a project user assistant. The user assistant will then call the potential user and discuss the project in detail. The investigator then comes to Albany to use the facility,if necessary. We also accept a limited number of collaborative projects in which our staff has a greater involvement. Dr. Rieder can be contacted as follows:
