Dear users, If you are using High Performance Computing (HPC) for your image analysis, or if you would like to know more about this, representatives of some of London universities are organising a one-day event at The Crick on 28th April. It aims to connect wet lab scientists and HPC teams, and is free to attend. Please see below to register and to submit an abstract for a 10min talk. All the best, David ---------------------------------------------------- David Gaboriau, PhD (Cantab), FRMS Microscopy Specialist - Facility for Imaging by Light Microscopy (FILM) Sir Alexander Fleming Building South Kensington Campus Imperial College London Exhibition Road London, SW7 2AZ SAF 4th floor, open space desk - FILM area +44 (0)20 7594 9793 d.gaboriau(a)imperial.ac.uk https://www.imperial.ac.uk/people/d.gaboriau http://www.imperial.ac.uk/medicine/facility-for-imaging-by-light-microscopy/ https://www.imperial.ac.uk/Stories/light-fantastic/ ---------------------------------------------------- ________________________________ From: The Francis Crick Institute <noreply(a)event.eventbrite.com> Sent: 31 March 2025 09:51 To: Gaboriau, David C A <d.gaboriau(a)imperial.ac.uk> Subject: Demystifying HPC: Abstract Deadline extended!

[Eventbrite] This was sent to you by The Francis Crick Institute Thank you for signing up for our workshop, where we will be bringing together wet lab scientists, HPC teams and image analysts to work on a common language for all, and come up with a curriculum to help teach HPC use to beginner HPC users from the wet lab. On that note! We need some wet lab scientists to give a ~10 minute talk on their research, and how they would benefit from using HPC in their image analysis, or research. Or, if you are already using HPC in your work, how you're using it. Please consider submitting an abstract on what you'd like to talk about. Your voice here will help shape how we teach HPC to all the future users! Please send an abstract to todd.fallesen(a)crick.ac.uk,<mailto:todd.fallesen@crick.ac.uk,> by this Friday if you'd like to talk. The voice of the students is very important! Thanks!

[FILM-Users 01199] Improving Access to FILM Imaging Equipment – New Cancellation Policy
by Nechyporuk-Zloy, Volodymyr 31 Mar '25

31 Mar '25

Dear Colleagues, At FILM, we strive to offer an innovative, effective, and efficient imaging service for the entire Imperial College London community. It is both a responsibility and a privilege to support such a diverse and pioneering group of researchers across departments. Our service depends greatly on your collaboration and engagement. With that in mind, we would like to address an ongoing challenge that affects the availability and fair use of our imaging systems: a high rate of booking cancellations. So far in 2024, 47% of sessions booked on our systems have been cancelled. Unfortunately, most of these cancellations occur too late to allow other users to take advantage of the freed-up time. As a result, microscopy time is lost and the efficiency of our shared resources suffers. To help address this, we are introducing a 12-hour cancellation deadline. From now on, bookings must be cancelled at least 12 hours in advance. We hope this change encourages more careful planning and helps all users make better use of available imaging time. We’re grateful for your continued support and look forward to improving the service together. Warm regards, Volodymyr Dr. Volodymyr Nechyporuk-Zloy (FILM Facility Manager) Facility for Imaging by Light Microscopy Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine Sir Alexander Fleming Building South Kensington Campus London SW7 2AZ UK OR ICTEM Building Du Cane Road 72 London W12 0NN UK Mobile: (+44) 7526275617 Twitter: @vnzloy LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/volodymyr-nechyporuk-zloy/ Web: https://www.imperial.ac.uk/medicine/facility-for-imaging-by-light-microscop…

[FILM-Users 01198] Invitation: MINFLUX 3D Nanoscope Demonstration, 12–16 May
by Nechyporuk-Zloy, Volodymyr 18 Mar '25

18 Mar '25

Dear Colleagues, We invite you to a demonstration of the MINFLUX 3D Nanoscope<https://abberior.rocks/superresolution-confocal-systems/minflux/>, hosted by DMDR (Alejandra Tomas<https://profiles.imperial.ac.uk/a.tomas-catala>) and FILM at the ICTEM Building from 12th to 16th May. Developed by Nobel Laureate Stefan Hell and his team, the MINFLUX 3D Nanoscope offers isotropic localization precision below 3 nm, setting new benchmarks in fluorescence microscopy. This provides researchers with a powerful tool for addressing a range of biomedical and biophysical questions at the molecular scale. Further details can be found on our event homepage<https://www.imperial.ac.uk/events/191572/demonstration-of-the-minflux-3d-na…>. If you are interested in attending, please contact Alejandra Tomas and me. Best regards, Volodymyr

[FILM-Users 01196] Writing the method section for your imaging experiments
by Gaboriau, David C A 10 Mar '25

10 Mar '25

Dear users, I thought I would share some guidelines about writing microscopy methods for publications that we published last week with an international group of microscopists called QUAREP-LiMi. These guidelines are minimal to ensure proper reporting of imaging conditions, and we are working with journal publishers so that they will be required when submitting a publication. There are examples in the paper so that you can see what it looks like. I hope this is useful, please let me know if you have any question. All the best, David Link to publication: https://zenodo.org/records/14977578 ---------------------------------------------------- David Gaboriau, PhD (Cantab), FRMS Microscopy Specialist - Facility for Imaging by Light Microscopy (FILM) Sir Alexander Fleming Building South Kensington Campus Imperial College London Exhibition Road London, SW7 2AZ SAF 4th floor, open space desk - FILM area +44 (0)20 7594 9793 d.gaboriau(a)imperial.ac.uk https://www.imperial.ac.uk/people/d.gaboriau http://www.imperial.ac.uk/medicine/facility-for-imaging-by-light-microscopy/ https://www.imperial.ac.uk/Stories/light-fantastic/ ----------------------------------------------------
