My samples are
tissue sections

Area to be imaged
Entire tissue section/coverslip/well area
Partial sample (to be specified below)
If partial sample area is to be imaged, please specify number of fields of view requested per sample:
Select scan type
Color (H&E)
Fluorescence (Widefield)
Fluorescence (Confocal)
If fluorescence, please list all stains (ie DAPI, Cy3, AF488, etc) in your samples.
If fluorescence, which slide or well is your positive control? Which slide or well is your negative control?
If fluorescence, what is your brightest sample (used to set appropriate settings)?
Select magnification below. Widefield 20x magnification is recommended for the majority of samples. If magnification at 40x or beyond is desired, please include a description of the sample and the need for higher magnification images in the notes section of this form.
10x (lowest magnification and resolution)
20x (most common and sufficient for most experiments)
40x (only available for fluorescent samples)
63x (only available for fluorescent samples)
Widefield color camera (SL only) , fluorescence (SL and iQ) or Confocal (iQ only)? Please note that the iQ confocal scanner does NOT have a camera for slide labels. Slides will be labeled numerically by the SCOPE in the order submitted unless users submit a spreadsheet with label information to the SCOPE.
Widefield color imaging (for H&E and similar stains, SL only)
Widefield fluorescence (most common, SL and iQ scanners)
Confocal (highest resolution, only available for fluorescent samples, iQ only)
Not sure
If you will be comparing these images to scans previously acquired in the SCOPE, please enter the date and file name of the previous scans. That will allow us to use the same image settings.
Please store my samples at:
room temperature
4 degrees
-20 degrees
Please enter a short summary of your samples and the expected signal from each stain below. If confocal, extended z-stacks or high magnification scans are requested, please describe that need below. The SCOPE will contact you to discuss your experimental requirements in more detail if necessary.

FOR EXTERNAL USERS ONLY: By clicking this button, I confirm that I have an approved Biosafety Form on file with the SCOPE for this sample type. The Biosafety Form can be downloaded from the Forms and Resources page on the SCOPE website (https://www.umassmed.edu/scope/forms-and-resources/)
Yes
The SCOPE images samples as received. We will work with users to obtain the best images possible given the submitted sample quality. Dirt, fibers, air bubbles, non-flat tissue, and other sample quality issues will result in poor images. By using the SCOPE imaging service, users agree to pay all imaging fees, regardless of resulting image quality.
I understand that my image quality depends upon my samples and I agree to pay the SCOPE imaging fees for this service.
