## Abstract

Fabrication Core Module Abstract
The Fabrication Core Module provides support for the fabrication and maintenance of a wide range of vital
specialized equipment and custom parts needed for individual research projects in the laboratories of vision
core investigators. This module provides vision core researchers with two important resources that are difficult
or impossible to obtain elsewhere. First, the module provides speedy, priority services (including emergency
repairs) of a high-precision machine shop for fabricating custom equipment parts and specialized vision
research experimental apparatus in a range of different materials. Second, it provides professional advice and
assistance (including in-lab consultation) of an experienced machinist, who has extensive knowledge in the
design and fabrication of specialized equipment for vision research. The close physical proximity of the
machine shop and machinist to vision core investigators, as well as the familiarity of the machinist with the
equipment in vision core investigator labs, makes this module a critical component of the Vision Core Program
at Yale. The availability of a machine shop capable of producing and maintaining the specialized equipment
required for vision research is expected to facilitate the recruitment of new vision science faculty and enhance
research capability and research collaboration across the Yale vision research community.
