Cornell University's Office of Sponsored Programs received a $399,750 project grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of the Director under the Research Infrastructure Programs (CFDA 93.351) to acquire a LifeCanvas Technologies SmartSPIM lightsheet microscope for the Cornell Biotechnology Resource Center (BRC) Imaging Facility in Ithaca, New York. The award, effective May 15, 2026 through May 14, 2027, funds the acquisition and implementation of advanced microscopy equipment designed to enable imaging of optically cleared tissues at speeds approximately ten times faster than standard confocal microscopes while reducing photobleaching and achieving symmetric three-dimensional resolution. The lightsheet microscope will replace an obsolete LaVision Biotec UltraMicroscope II and support research on large-scale cleared fluorescent tissue specimens such as whole mouse brains, lymph nodes, and ovaries. The instrument will be managed through established BRC infrastructure with data management, scheduling, and billing systems, and will be operated by a PhD-level staff scientist who will provide training to researchers. The equipment will be made available to academic and off-campus researchers, advancing multicolor lightsheet excitation imaging capabilities with macro immersion optics suitable for centimeter-scale tissue pieces and supporting a broad portfolio of NIH-funded research programs focused on understanding cellular and anatomical organization at the organ scale.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
