Authorship is not required for services provided by the center unless agreed upon in advance (see the center's collaboration policy).
If the data in your publication resulted from significant efforts outside of the center’s standard operating procedures or required intellectual contribution or method development, it is reasonable to include staff as co-authors on the publication. This will be discussed and agreed upon between the PI and the center director.
In special cases in which significant research time is needed to complete the project, post-service analyses are required, or significant intellectual contributions from the center are warranted, the center is open to collaborating with researchers on these projects that require more than the center’s standard services. The nature of the collaboration will be the same as a typical collaboration between two research groups in which authorship of publications and budget on grants are shared where appropriate. Collaborators will only pay for machine time at unassisted rates, and there are no charges for time spent on research or data analysis. This is determined by discussion between the center director and PI prior to the start of the project.
We are located in the Van Nuys Medical Sciences Building, room A167.

Samples must be fixed prior to submitting them to the Center for Electron Microscopy. We will provide fixative solution(s), a protocol on how to fix your samples, and also will provide sample preparation information depending on your sample type. This is all discussed during your initial project consultation. You can also email mabitt@iu.edu to request this information in advance.
Please submit a consultation request on our iLab page. You can also email Mandy Bittner (mabitt@iu.edu) and request to meet with the team.
The center charges $100 for the initial project consultation which is rebated to you at the end of your project (when data is sent back to the user).
Absolutely! Please email mabitt@iu.edu to get more information on iLab account set up and/or to request information.
