Abstract

Modern life science research is a collaborative effort. Few research groups can single-handedly support the necessary equipment, expertise and personnel needed for the ever-expanding portfolio of technologies that are required across multiple disciplines in today's life science endeavours. Thus, research institutes are increasingly setting up scientific core facilities to provide access and specialised support for cutting-edge technologies. Maintaining the momentum needed to carry out leading research while ensuring high-quality daily operations is an ongoing challenge, regardless of the resources allocated to establish such facilities. Here, we outline and discuss the range of activities required to keep things running once a scientific imaging core facility has been established. These include managing a wide range of equipment and users, handling repairs and service contracts, planning for equipment upgrades, renewals, or decommissioning, and continuously upskilling while balancing innovation and consolidation.

保持正常运转 - 确保高端科学成像核心设施的正常运行。
现代生命科学研究是一项协作性工作。当今的生命科学研究涉及多个学科,所需的设备、专业知识和人员组合不断扩大,很少有研究小组能够单独提供支持。因此,研究机构正在越来越多地建立科学核心设施,为前沿技术提供获取途径和专业支持。无论为建立此类设施分配了多少资源,在确保高质量日常运作的同时保持开展领先研究的动力都是一项持续的挑战。在此,我们将概述并讨论科学成像核心设施建立后保持正常运行所需的一系列活动。这些活动包括管理各种设备和用户,处理维修和服务合同,规划设备升级、更新或退役,以及在平衡创新和整合的同时不断提高技能。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Microscopy is the oldest journal dedicated to the science of microscopy and the only peer-reviewed publication of the Royal Microscopical Society. It publishes papers that report on the very latest developments in microscopy such as advances in microscopy techniques or novel areas of application. The Journal does not seek to publish routine applications of microscopy or specimen preparation even though the submission may otherwise have a high scientific merit. The scope covers research in the physical and biological sciences and covers imaging methods using light, electrons, X-rays and other radiations as well as atomic force and near field techniques. Interdisciplinary research is welcome. Papers pertaining to microscopy are also welcomed on optical theory, spectroscopy, novel specimen preparation and manipulation methods and image recording, processing and analysis including dynamic analysis of living specimens. Publication types include full papers, hot topic fast tracked communications and review articles. Authors considering submitting a review article should contact the editorial office first.
