See http://www.rms.org.uk/imaging-competition The competition is a great opportunity for microscopists from across the world to showcase their skills - the 2015 competition attracted interest from BBC Earth and The Times. It provides a great outlet for those that can capture the breath-taking and engaging beauty of the microscopical world. Entries are invited to the following categories: - Electron Microscopy - Physical Science - Electron Microscopy - Life Science - Light Microscopy - Physical Science - Light Microscopy - Life Science - Scanning Probe Microscopy - Short Video There are great prizes on offer including two Nikon cameras. For full details on how to enter, visit - http://www.rms.org.uk/imaging-competition If you would like to sponsor a prize, contact dawn(a)rms.org.uk "This competition goes way beyond 'coffee table' pictures and this makes it special," commented Professor Chris Hawes, former President of the Society and competition judge. "We look for images that have a scientific quality as well as outstanding aesthetic appeal. This provides us with truly eye-catching displays." An exhibition of short-listed entries will be on throughout mmc2017 with the winners being announced during the event. ============================================== You are receiving this email because you are a valued contact of the Royal Microscopical Society.

[FILM-Users 00731] FW: Call for Proposal: Advanced Imaging Center at Janelia
by Bruckbauer, Andreas 19 Apr '17

19 Apr '17

Interesting opportunity to use Janelia’s advanced microscopes, e.g. the Lattice Light Sheet Microscope or the iPALM. They even pay the cost of lodging for the visiting scientist, basic experimental reagents, technical support from our applications scientists, and scope time! -----Original Message----- From: Chew, Teng-Leong <chewt(a)JANELIA.HHMI.ORG<mailto:chewt@JANELIA.HHMI.ORG>> To: CONFOCALMICROSCOPY <CONFOCALMICROSCOPY(a)LISTS.UMN.EDU<mailto:CONFOCALMICROSCOPY@LISTS.UMN.EDU>> Sent: Mon, 17 Apr 2017 20:21 Subject: Call for Proposal: Advanced Imaging Center at Janelia Dear Colleagues, We are now accepting proposals from scientists who would like to conduct experiments at the Advanced Imaging Center (https://janelia.org/aic) (AIC) at Janelia Research Campus. The deadline to submit a proposal is June 15, 2017. Application Details (http://tinyurl.com/m6r7h7p) The AIC makes imaging technologies developed at Janelia available to the scientific community before the instruments can be purchased commercially. Scientific investigators from nonprofit organizations anywhere in the world may apply to use the facility. We encourage applications from researchers who are addressing significant scientific questions that require measurements of cellular/molecular behavior at spatial and/or temporal resolutions that would only be possible for them through access to the AIC. Under the program, visiting scientists will spend 1-2 weeks (or longer if there is justified scientific reason) at Janelia to conduct experiments on a microscope with the support of the AIC team. The currently available microscopes are: • Interferometric Photoactivated Localization Microscope (iPALM) • Aberration-corrected Multifocus Microscope (acMFM) • Lattice Light Sheet Microscope (2nd generation Bessel Beam Microscope) • Live Cell Multicolor Structured Illumination Microscope (SIM) The AIC is jointly sponsored by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation (GBMF). Proposals will be evaluated based on scientific merit through a two-tier review process by AIC/Janelia scientists and by a review panel of scientists from HHMI/Janelia, GBMF, and extramural imaging experts. Scientists whose proposals are selected are responsible for travel arrangements to Janelia. The Janelia Visitor Program will cover the cost of lodging for the visiting scientist, basic experimental reagents, technical support from our applications scientists, and scope time. Email aic(a)janelia.hhmi.org<mailto:aic@janelia.hhmi.org> or me with direct inquiries. Please help us by spreading the word to your colleagues. Additional information about the instruments and instructions on how to apply is available on the AIC webpage (https://janelia.org/aic) You can also download instructions(pdf) (http://tinyurl.com/kthw8en) Regards, Leong --- Teng-Leong Chew, PhD Director, Advanced Imaging Center Janelia Research Campus Howard Hughes Medical Institute Ashburn, VA 20147 (571) 209-4676 chewt(a)janelia.hhmi.org<mailto:chewt@janelia.hhmi.org>
