BioBED is the test facility for biological applications of subsurface imaging. It has a home lab at NU where we have the Keck 3-D Fusion Microscope (3DFM), a unique state-of-the-art "fusion microscope" that combines new subsurface sensing techniques such as the Quadrature Tomographic Microscope (QTM) with state-of-the-art commercial instruments on the same specimen stage. To our knowledge, there exists no facility for generating precisely registered multi-mode microscopic images of a specimen taken at the same time and in the same orientation. Not only are we able to compare images from different modalities, we will be able to fuse them into single images offering greater information content. BioBED will be unique in this capability.
