Dear FILM Users, I am writing to inform you of upcoming changes in the FILM team. Starting December 1, 2024, our staff will be temporarily reduced to two members: David and myself. Maddy<https://www.linkedin.com/in/madeline-tisi/> will be temporarily leaving us, with plans to return in a year, while Ana<https://www.imperial.ac.uk/medicine/facility-for-imaging-by-light-microscop…> has decided to resign. I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank both Ana and Maddy for their invaluable contributions to FILM, especially in supporting users, conducting training sessions, and advancing imaging technologies. Maddy has been instrumental in advanced imaging, e.g. STED imaging, and Ana has made substantial contributions to multiplex imaging. We sincerely wish them both great success in their next steps. >From December 1, the user-to-staff ratio will reach 400% of the recommended level<https://edoc.mdc-berlin.de/id/eprint/15636/1/15636oa.pdf>. To ensure continued support for all users, I encourage those with experience in advanced imaging to consider assisting FILM. Specifically, we are looking for PhD students with an interest in imaging technologies, including epi, confocal, super-resolution, and multiplex imaging. If you are interested or know someone who might be, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me. Your support will be greatly appreciated as we navigate this transitional period - thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Best regards, Volodymyr

Dear users, Access to Scratch2 has been restored. This is a kind reminder to double back-up all your data on the day of your imaging session, and to not leave your data on Scratch2, as we do not have a back-up of this drive in case it fails.
