Dear All, The FILM team are delighted to introduce the new online FILM Gallery<https://www.imperial.ac.uk/medicine/facility-for-imaging-by-light-microscop…>, set up to celebrate and showcase the beautiful images captured on FILM microscopes. Please take a look at some of the first gallery images expertly captured by Dr David Gaboriau from the FILM team. Do you have a great high-resolution microscopy image taken on a FILM microscope that you would like to include in the gallery? If so, we would love to see your image and keep our gallery collection growing. Please email over a JPEG or TIF copy of your image to Razieh (r.khoshnevisan(a)imperial.ac.uk) along with a description of the sample shown and the name(s) of who needs to be credited for the sample and image. We can't wait to see your submissions!

[FILM-Users 01214] NIKON Demo (Spinning Disk Confocal System): 24-28.11.2025

Dear Colleagues, We are pleased to invite you to take part in the NIKON Imaging System Demo Week, which will run from Monday 24th to Friday 28th November (ICTEM Building; Room 304A). The system on demonstration is the NIKON ECLIPSE Ji Open Architecture Digital Inverted Microscope<https://www.microscope.healthcare.nikon.com/en_EU/products/digital-microsco…>. It is equipped with the CREST X-Light V3 Spinning Disk Confocal System<https://www.microscope.healthcare.nikon.com/en_EU/products/confocal-microsc…>. The platform supports two main modes of use: 1. Automatic Assay Imaging<https://downloads.microscope.healthcare.nikon.com/phase7/literature/Brochur…> – minimal user interaction; AI-driven setup and analysis for high-throughput cellular imaging assays. 2. Advanced Research Mode<https://downloads.microscope.healthcare.nikon.com/phase7/literature/Brochur…> – full access to JOBS visual programming<https://www.microscope.healthcare.nikon.com/en_EU/products/software/nis-ele…> for customised image acquisition and analysis workflows. Our motivation for evaluating this system is to identify an instrument that can: * Support Master’s research projects efficiently and productively. * Provide high-sensitivity imaging with over 95% quantum yield for detecting biological processes under physiological conditions. * Integrate smoothly with modern AI and image analysis tools<https://www.microscope.healthcare.nikon.com/en_EU/products/software/nis-ele…>. * Deliver high-speed imaging<https://crestoptics.com/x-light-v3-2/> of tissue and organoid samples. The FILM staff team is fully prepared to support the demo, with both David and myself experienced in maintaining and developing NIKON microscope platforms. For reference, I am also the first author of NIKON’s strategies combining automatic focus tracking with multi-point time-lapse imaging<https://github.com/vzloy/NIS-JOBS-GA3/blob/main/Nikon%20Practical%20Tips%20…> If you are interested in testing the system, please let us know so we can reserve a slot for you. We can also accommodate long-term overnight live-cell imaging upon request. The demo will be scientifically supported by Associate Professor Jorge Bernardino de la Serna<https://profiles.imperial.ac.uk/j.bernardino-de-la-serna> (NHLI). We look forward to your participation and feedback. Best regards, Volodymyr

Dear All, I am delighted to announce that we have a new publications page<https://www.imperial.ac.uk/medicine/facility-for-imaging-by-light-microscop…> on the FILM website. This page celebrates the papers published by FILM users and FILM staff. If you have any papers that have been made possible by FILM microscopes that do not feature on this page, please let me know and I will add them in. Please also continue to add any publications to the Publications tab on PPMS<https://ppms.eu/imperial/?FILM>, it's a quick process using the doi or PMID.
