SKYCAM Mission
Our mission is to provide and make readily accessible state-of-the-art microscopy capabilities to our customers. Please use the links below to see our microscopes and services. SKYCAM will streamline information on microscopy capabilities for dissemination to a regional audience for marketing and branding purposes. This organization of microscopy capabilities under one umbrella organization will not result in any change in the physical location of the instruments nor a change in any personnel. SKYCAM will merely facilitate awareness (marketing and branding) of WKU capabilities in microscopy to our current and potential customers and allow us to seek potential business opportunities.
