Dear Users, The deadline to apply for the NEUBIAS BioImage Analysis training school for Early Career researchers (PhD Students and Post Docs) has been extended to the 2nd June. Please see below for details. All the best, David David Gaboriau, PhD FILM - Facility for Imaging by Light Microscopy High-Content Microscopy Specialist Sir Alexander Fleming Building, desk 408 Imperial College London / South Kensington Exhibition Road London SW7 2AZ, UK Phone: +44 (0)2075 949 793 Email: d.gaboriau(a)imperial.ac.uk<mailto:d.gaboriau@imperial.ac.uk> Website: http://imperial.ac.uk/imagingfacility ------------------------------------------------- Dear colleagues, the deadline for applications for the NEUBIAS "early career" and "staff" training schools has been extended to June 2nd! Below follows the initial announcement ========== NEUBIAS, the Network of European BioImage Analysts (www.neubias.org<http://www.neubias.org/>), is delighted to announce two new Training Schools on BioImage Analysis: Early Career Investigators (life scientists) Facility staff (imaging & analysis staff) The focus of training will be on construction and automation of Image Analysis workflows, using as examples more than one toolbox and different exercises. The schools will be held in Gothenburg 11-14th of September 2017, hosted by the Centre for Cellular Imaging - Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, Sweden. NEUBIAS schools are an excellent opportunity to learn from many experts in bioimage analysis (we are expecting ~40 specialists at the event) and "....a great mix of intensive learning and community networking" (former trainee testimonial!). - applications for Gothenburg are open (each school has 25 available seats and 10-12 trainers). - Within the COST framework, a few travel grants are offered to applicants who qualify. - NEW Registration deadline: June 2nd, 2017 (must include "letter of motivation"). - Selection notification: 2nd week of June 2017. More information about schools (programme & trainers) and venue, travel & lodge available at our website: www.neubias.org<http://www.neubias.org/> -> "Training Schools" http://eubias.org/NEUBIAS/training-schools/eci/ts4-gothenburg2017/ http://eubias.org/NEUBIAS/training-schools/staff/ts5-gothenburg2017/ We kindly ask that you help us reach all potential interested applicants. On behalf of all NEUBIAS members, Julien Colombelli, Chair; Kota Miura, Vice-Chair Julia Fernandez-Rodriguez, Local organizer Carolina Wählby, Jan Eglinger, Joakim Lindblad & Nuno P Martins, TS4&5 programme organizers Gaby G Martins & Fabrice Cordelières, WG2-Training leaders Perrine Paul-Gilloteaux, WG4-Webtool leader Sébastien Tosi, WG5-Benchmarking & Sample Datasets leader --------------------------------------------------------------- NEUBIAS is an European network of currently ~180 members and 35 countries, which aims to promote the communication between Life Scientists, Instrumentalists, Developers and BioImage Analysts and to establish and promote the role of Bioimage Analysts in Life Science. Our mission includes: - A training programme for 3 different target audiences:Early Career researcher, Facility Staff, Analyst (running until 2020 - expected 400 trainees and 15 training schools). - Promote different yearly events (NEUNIAS2020 Conference, workshops [training schools], Taggathons) - Online Resources: Repository of tools and workflows, Benchmarking and Sample datasets, Training material and Open Textbook. - A Short Term Scientific Mission mobility programme for Scientists to visit Host Labs and get in depth insights into cutting edge Image Analysis technology. - Outreach material. ---------------------------------------------------------------------

[FILM-Users 00737] FW: Seminar by Alex Rohrbach
by Bruckbauer, Andreas 30 May '17

30 May '17

FYI From: Dunsby, Christopher W Sent: 30 May 2017 16:47 To: Bruckbauer, Andreas <a.bruckbauer(a)imperial.ac.uk> Subject: Seminar by Alex Rohrbach Dear Andreas, The Photonics seminar this week by Alex Rohrbach on light sheet microscopy and optical tweezers may be of interest to some FILM users. Please could you advertise this via the FILM mailing list? best regards, Chris Professor Alexander Rohrbach http://www.imtek.de/professuren/bnp/startseite_bio-und_nanophotonik Thursday 1st June 4-5pm Huxley room 711c Novel photonics to observe biophysics on the small and fast scale Many new, exciting imaging techniques have emerged during the last decade, providing significantly improved spatial resolution and contrast. However, this extra information comes at the cost of more photons required to illuminate the target, which requires more time and energy and often damages biological structures. The smaller the structures to be investigated, the faster they usually move inside living cells, because of both Brownian motion and coordinated work of molecular motors. Can scattered laser light be a solution to the problem? In addition, a large fraction of fluorescence photons is scattered too often inside large objects and therefore diffusive photons do not reach the right pixels on the camera. A separation of diffusive photons would be helpful. In this talk I will demonstrate how nanometer scale displacements and motions of cellular structures and artificial probes can be observed by coherent optics, giving novel insights into principles of molecular mechanics of living systems. In addition, I will take a second look with you at the spreading of diffusive photons and how to separate their negative influence on image quality.

[FILM-Users 00736] probes for multiphoton microscopy
by Bruckbauer, Andreas 30 May '17

30 May '17

FYI, probes for multiphoton microscopy from Stratech, please contact Gareth for a brochure Andreas ------------------------ The current probes are for; b-Amyloid Hydrogen Peroxide Mitochondrial Thiol b-Galactosidase Lipid Rafts Nitric Oxide Calcium Ion Lysozomes Sodium Ion Glucose Mitochondrial Hydrogen Sulfide Zinc Ion These probes have been developed specifically for two photon microscopy and I hope that the probes offered will be useful in the work that you are doing. We would be more than happy to discuss/present them further with you and your users when convenient for you. We will also be more than happy to arrange samples for you to testing. We would also be very grateful for any feedback that you may have feedback regarding the range and future probes that would be useful going forwards. I look forward to hearing from you.

Dear all, The new WF1 microscope was installed today, it is now very similar to the WF3 using Zen software. Steve did the initial setup so that it can be used. WF1 users please contact Steve or myself if you plan to use it so that we can set you up on the system. Best wishes Andreas ---------------------------------------------------- Dr Andreas Bruckbauer FILM facility manager Sir Alexander Fleming Building South Kensington Campus Imperial College London Exhibition Road London, SW7 2AZ SAF 4th floor, open space desk 401 +44 (0)20 7594 2023 a.bruckbauer(a)imperial.ac.uk<mailto:a.bruckbauer@imperial.ac.uk> http://www.imperial.ac.uk/medicine/facility-for-imaging-by-light-microscopy/ ----------------------------------------------------
