Automated Imaging Microscope System

The Automated Imaging Microscope System (AIMS) was developed by scientists at the Aging Research Centre (ARC) and the University of California, Berkeley. Steven A. Garan, Warren Freitag and Jason Neudorf were the lead scientists that were involved in the creation of AIMS, and many journals articles have been published about the system. Since the completion of the first version in 1998, newer versions were developed, with the final version being completed in 2006.
