# Technology Operations Core

> **NIH NIH P30** · UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SAN FRANCISCO · 2020 · $309,615

## Abstract

Project Summary/Abstract
The Technology Operations Core (TOC) will enable user access to biological soft x-ray
tomography at the ALS and be responsible for the day-to-day user operation of the Resource. In
particular, the TOC will maintain and calibrate XM-2, the Resource operated soft x-ray
microscope at the ALS. The TOC will also be responsible for maintaining and upgrading ancillary
instruments and software to keep the Resource operating at the ‘state-of-the-art.’ This core will
ensure soft x-ray tomography is readily accessible to the biomedical community, and users get
the best possible soft x-ray tomographic data from their specimens.
