About BIF

The Biological Imaging Facility (BIF) is a shared use and training facility located on the fifth floor of Hogan Hall on Northwestern University's Evanston campus. Main offices, poster printing, and specimen preparation are located in room 5-150, while microscopy and image analysis are in 5-120 (formerly the main location of BIF).

Supported by the Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences, the Department of Neurobiology and Physiology, the Department of Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, and Cell Biology, the Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center and the Rice Foundation; BIF is a research and training facility that serves the imaging needs of over 500 scientists representing 144 different labs from 23 different departments.

BIF is organized so users can prepare samples, capture and analyze images, and create final presentations in one facility. Training for most instruments is available on a regular basis so users can acquire data quickly and efficiently. What truly makes BIF unique is the staff’s commitment to guide and assist you with any part of your research project. We are continually looking for new ways to enhance existing equipment, acquire new tools, and keep pace with current techniques.

Please contact BIF staff if you are interested in a tour of the facility or want to be trained on an instrument. (Contact information can be found here.)
