Graphic Arts & Digital Services

In the Department of Pathology

About

Originally known as the "Photo Lab"Room L206 in Lane Building has a history with the Department of Pathology. Before the advent of digital photography the Photo Lab was a room where analog photography of histology slides were taken, the resulting film was processed in the adjoining darkroom. Photographic prints and Kodachromes were made from the film to be used for clinical diagnostic, teaching (slide presentations), publication, and consulting purposes.

With the advent of digital photography the Photo Lab morphed into graphic arts support services for faculty, residents, fellows, postdocs, research labs, and staff within the Department of Pathology. Services offered range from illustrations and graphics for the latest papers published by faculty and principal investigators to online website creation, digital publications, and poster printing for conferences and presentations.
