[FILM-Users 00035] Sharepoint booking - confusing cancellations
by Martin Spitaler 23 Feb '11

23 Feb '11

Dear microscopists, when deleting bookings, some of you reduce the time to '5 min' instead of '0 min'. Unfortunately, this means that the booking in the standard view of Sharepoint appears as if it were for half an hour, and users have mistakingly left microscopes on because they thought someone has booked it afterwards. Could you please reduce the time to zero instead (same start and end time)? The booking will disappear from the standard DIARY CALENDAR VIEW, but it's still visible in the LIST VIEW (click on the yellow DIARY CALENDAR VIEW icon on the top-left of the calendar to change the view). Thanks, good imaging, Martin -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Martin Spitaler, PhD* *FILM - Facility for Imaging by Light Microscopy* - Facility Manager - Sir Alexander Fleming Building, desk 401 Imperial College London / South Kensington Exhibition Road London SW7 2AZ UK Tel. +44-(0)20-759-42023 E-mail m.spitaler(a)imperial.ac.uk <mailto:m.spitaler@imperial.ac.uk> Website: http://imperial.ac.uk/imagingfacility

[FILM-Users 00034] FILM Club next Friday
by Martin Spitaler 18 Feb '11

18 Feb '11

Dear microscopists, next Friday, 25th of February, is our next FILM Club. Judy Fonville (Jeremy Nicholson lab) is showing us how she analyses hyperspectral mass spectrometry imaging data to extract a maximum amount of information in an unbiased manner. Judy works in metabolomics, but for her projects uses data generated by an interesting combination of imaging and mass spectrometry. Apart from the specific scientific background, her technique of analysing multi-dimensional data with unknown structure can also be interesting for all of us trying to understand multi-dimensional imaging data like those from a Flim microscope or high-resolution microscopy. The FILM Club is on Friday 25 Feb 1pm, SAFB 121.

[FILM-Users 00029] food and drinks in microscope rooms
by Martin Spitaler 09 Feb '11

09 Feb '11

Dear microscopists, unfortunately I have to remind you again that all our microscope rooms are lab space, and no food and drinks are allowed there. And there is good reason for it, most users do use all kinds of biological samples, transfections, oncogenes etc., and many of the nuclear dyes and fixatives are mutagenic. The worst idea is certainly to bring coffee cups along and through them into the clinical waste bin afterwards! So in everybody's interest, please stick to the rules in the future. Good imaging, Martin ################################################ Martin Spitaler, PhD FILM - Facility for Imaging by Light Microscopy - Facility Manager - Sir Alexander Fleming Building, desk 401 Imperial College London / South Kensington Exhibition Road London SW7 2AZ UK Tel. +44-(0)20-759-42023 E-mail m.spitaler(a)imperial.ac.uk Website: http://imperial.ac.uk/imagingfacility

[FILM-Users 00027] Fwd: Imaging Postdoc

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Imaging Postdoc Date: Fri, 4 Feb 2011 11:25:21 +0000 From: Nick Barry <nbarry(a)mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk> Dear Colleague I am contacting you to ask if you might know of any recently graduated PhDs or Postdocs looking for a position in an imaging facility. At the LMB we have a 3 year position for someone working on microscopy and imaging techniques, in particular superresolution techniques. Whilst it is envisaged that much of this work will be by collaboration with individual research groups within the LMB there is also the expectation that time will be spent in support of overall microscopy services at the lab. Details may be found by following the link from http://www.mrc.ac.uk/About/WorkingfortheMRC/Vacancies/index.htm The reference number for this vacancy is IRC12266. The listing will appear on the 'Jobs.ac.uk' and 'nature jobs' websites. If you have any candidates who might suit this role i would be grateful if you could pass on this message. Many regards Nick Barry MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology Cambridge

[FILM-Users 00026] NEW: TIRF microscope
by Martin Spitaler 03 Feb '11

03 Feb '11

Dear microscopists, I'm very pleased to announce that we now have a fully functional TIRF microscope available. The microscope is an adaptation of a manual Zeiss Axiovert 200 system, with addition of a Till monochromator for standard fluorescence excitation, two lasers (491 and 561nm) for TIRF imaging, a high-resolution TIRF objective (100x/1.45), a high-sensitivity camera (Hamamatsu C9100-13) and an Optosplit for parallel visualisation of green and red fluorescence. The microscope is available from now, but because of the manual setup interested users need to attend the laser safety course before they can get training. For more detailed information, see EQUIPMENT page on the FILM website / Widefield 3 - TIRF. And as an outlook for the not-too-distant future: We have also been working hard to implement PALM and STORM microscopy on the same system, and have now achieved preliminary results with both techniques. Several optimisation still need to be done, but hopefully we will be able to do high-resolution microscopy in all three dimensions (TIRF for 'Z' and PALM / STORM for 'XY') very soon. Good imaging, Martin TIRF microscope: <http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/imagingfacility/equipment/wf3> TIRF microscopy: <http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/imagingfacility/links/imaging_information> ################################################### Martin Spitaler, PhD FILM - Facility for Imaging by Light Microscopy - Facility Manager - Sir Alexander Fleming Building, desk 401 Imperial College London / South Kensington Exhibition Road London SW7 2AZ UK Tel. +44-(0)20-759-42023 E-mail m.spitaler(a)imperial.ac.uk Website: http://imperial.ac.uk/imagingfacility
