Advanced microscopy applications such as high content imaging, live-cell imaging, 3D, FRAP, and FLIM are now becoming mainstream. Adding multiplex tagging, time-lapse, and multipositional imaging results in a huge data flow—a challenge in terms of data management, storage, and analysis. Choosing the most appropriate technology, both hardware and reagents, for a project can also be a headache. With publications and funding awards becoming increasingly dependent on collaborations and translational research, this webinar will seek to explore the trends in cell-based imaging both in terms of technology and application, with a special focus on fundamental disease research. This webinar is the first in a series exploring advances in imaging technology from cell to well to animal. During the webinar, our expert panelists will: * Summarize the state of current imaging technologies and their application * Present their own data on the use of these technologies * Provide advice on best practices for obtaining high-quality data * Answer your questions live on air. *Register at:* *www.sciencemag.org/webinar* <http://app.aaas-science.org/e/er.aspx?s=1906&lid=514&elq=2bcfba2ecbae4073bc…> Produced by the /Science//AAAS Business Office and sponsored by PerkinElmer. <http://app.aaas-science.org/e/er.aspx?s=1906&lid=514&elq=2bcfba2ecbae4073bc…> Manage Your E-mail Subscription Preferences <http://aaas-science.org/ANTHONYMAGEE1?elqPURLPage=4&elq=2bcfba2ecbae4073bc3…> | Unsubscribe <http://aaas-science.org/ANTHONYMAGEE1?elqPURLPage=4&elq=2bcfba2ecbae4073bc3…> Need help?

Dear microscopists, thank you very much for everybody keeping their day free and joining the microscopy day, it was good seeing so many of you there. To help planning the event in the future, we would now appreciate any feedback and comments from your side. It's not easy for us to know what is interesting and useful for you, so please tell us what was missing, too short, too long, too much (or simply ok as it was). Thanks in advance (and thanks those who have already told us), and good imaging, Martin* ########################################## *Martin Spitaler, PhD ** *FILM - Facility for Imaging by Light Microscopy* - Facility Manager - Sir Alexander Fleming Building, desk 401 Imperial College London / South Kensington Exhibition Road London SW7 2AZ UK Tel. +44-(0)20-759-42023 E-mail m.spitaler(a)imperial.ac.uk <mailto:m.spitaler@imperial.ac.uk> Website: http://imperial.ac.uk/imagingfacility

[FILM-Users 00078] Fwd: Euro-BioImaging: 1st Newsletter
by Martin Spitaler 17 Jun '11

17 Jun '11

Dear microscopists, I'm forwarding the information below regarding the EuroBioimaging initiative (in which we are participating). Most likely Eurobioimaging will in the future help your microscopy research in the way of training, facility access, data management and analysis, lobbying for funding and generally promoting bioimaging (see the website for more details), so you might be interested to stay up to date through this newsletter. By the way, the local initiative, BioImagingUK (http://www.bioimaginguk.org) is also taking shape, the dedicated Working Groups have already produced very interesting documents how bioimaging should be organised, supported and funded, which are going to be presented to the funding bodies (research councils and Wellcome Trust) soon. We also have a mailing list there (see bottom of the homepage) to keep you up to date. Good imaging, Martin ############################################################################ -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Euro-BioImaging: 1st Newsletter Date: Tue, 7 Jun 2011 13:10:48 +0100 From: info(a)eurobioimaging.eu <info(a)eurobioimaging.eu> To: Spitaler, Martin <m.spitaler(a)imperial.ac.uk> E U R O B I O I M A G I N G Dear Martin Spitaler, We are pleased to herewith send you the first edition of the Euro-BioImaging biannual Newsletter.
