Newcastle Preclinical In Vivo Imaging Facility

Publications

Find a list of our publications, and guidelines for acknowledging PIVI's role in your own research.

 At current rates, PIVI users pay a fraction of our costs. This is thanks largely to faculty subsidy and more accurate yearly capacity figures.

Even without any specific assistance from our members, the reason the instruments are in good working order is because of their efforts and expertise.

Find out how to acknowledge PIVI's role in your research.
