	abstract = {<p>Microscopy core facilities are increasingly utilized research resources, but they are generally only available to users within the host institution. Such localized access misses an opportunity to facilitate research across a broader user base. Here, we present the model of an open-access microscopy facility, using the Advanced Imaging Center (AIC) at Howard Hughes Medical Institute Janelia Research Campus as an example. The AIC has pioneered a model whereby advanced microscopy technologies and expertise are made accessible to researchers on a global scale. We detail our experiences in addressing the considerable challenges associated with this model for those who may be interested in launching an open-access imaging facility. Importantly, we focus on how this model can empower researchers, particularly those from resource-constrained settings. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.</p>
