[FILM-Users 00458] FW: On Demand webcast: Real time imaging of cells with Super Resolution Microscopy.
by Martin Spitaler 27 Jan '14

nature.com webcasts <http://links.ealert.nature.com/ctt?kn=4&ms=NDQ5MjU4MTAS1&r=MTc3MDE3NTE1MQS2…> Custom webcast: sponsor retains sole responsibility for content *The latest innovations **in real-time imaging of cells with Super Resolution Microscopy ** A discussion into new technical innovations for Super Resolution Microscopy** Now available On Demand * ** Speakers: *Dr Jennifer Lippincott-Schwartz* NIH Distinguished Investigator. *Dr Orla Hanrahan* Andor Technology. *Dr Susan Cox* King's College, London. *Register for FREE <http://links.ealert.nature.com/ctt?kn=26&ms=NDQ5MjU4MTAS1&r=MTc3MDE3NTE1MQS…>* Due to the diffraction limit, standard light microscopes can at best resolve features which are around 200nm apart, meaning that they are unsuited to many biological applications. In this webcast, three expert speakers will discuss super resolution microscopy, a rapidly developing field that is breaking the diffraction limit to enable the close examination of finely detailed biological samples. The current focus of the Super Resolution Microscopy community is to increase the utility of existing localisation microscopy techniques such as photo-activated localization microscopy (PALM) and stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy (STORM) – in these methods, fluorophores within a sample emit low levels of light, which is imaged many thousands of times. This creates a single composite image with resolution at the true molecular length scale. However, this process is slow, meaning that these techniques are not best suited to real-time imaging of cells and tissues. Our first speaker, Dr Jennifer Lippincott-Schwartz, will discuss research currently underway using genetically-encoded photoactivatable proteins (PA-FPs) for superresolution imaging which has dramatically expanded the study of cellular organization, function and dynamics. Our second speaker, Dr Susan Cox will go into some detail on the algorithms which facilitate high resolution imaging of live cell dynamics at the nanoscale and lastly Dr Orla Hanrahan will discuss fast and sensitive detector technologies which are suitable for the low light intensities of the single molecule techniques and the speed required for live cell super resolution applications. *Register for FREE <http://links.ealert.nature.com/ctt?kn=26&ms=NDQ5MjU4MTAS1&r=MTc3MDE3NTE1MQS…> Browse through our webcasts <http://links.ealert.nature.com/ctt?kn=4&ms=NDQ5MjU4MTAS1&r=MTc3MDE3NTE1MQS2…> #MSCwebcasts * Sponsor Banner <http://links.ealert.nature.com/ctt?kn=5&ms=NDQ5MjU4MTAS1&r=MTc3MDE3NTE1MQS2…> Sponsor Banner Macmillan <http://links.ealert.nature.com/ctt?kn=2&ms=NDQ5MjU4MTAS1&r=MTc3MDE3NTE1MQS2…> Share:Google+ <http://links.ealert.nature.com/ctt?kn=12&ms=NDQ5MjU4MTAS1&r=MTc3MDE3NTE1MQS…> <http://links.ealert.nature.com/s2s?m=44925810&r=MTc3MDE3NTE1MQS2&rj=MjMwMjE…> Facebook <http://links.ealert.nature.com/s2s?m=44925810&r=MTc3MDE3NTE1MQS2&rj=MjMwMjE…> <http://links.ealert.nature.com/s2s?m=44925810&r=MTc3MDE3NTE1MQS2&rj=MjMwMjE…> LinkedIn <http://links.ealert.nature.com/s2s?m=44925810&r=MTc3MDE3NTE1MQS2&rj=MjMwMjE…> <http://links.ealert.nature.com/s2s?m=44925810&r=MTc3MDE3NTE1MQS2&rj=MjMwMjE…> Reddit <http://links.ealert.nature.com/s2s?m=44925810&r=MTc3MDE3NTE1MQS2&rj=MjMwMjE…> <http://links.ealert.nature.com/s2s?m=44925810&r=MTc3MDE3NTE1MQS2&rj=MjMwMjE…> StumbleUpon <http://links.ealert.nature.com/s2s?m=44925810&r=MTc3MDE3NTE1MQS2&rj=MjMwMjE…> <http://links.ealert.nature.com/s2s?m=44925810&r=MTc3MDE3NTE1MQS2&rj=MjMwMjE…> Twitter <http://links.ealert.nature.com/s2s?m=44925810&r=MTc3MDE3NTE1MQS2&rj=MjMwMjE…> <http://links.ealert.nature.com/s2s?m=44925810&r=MTc3MDE3NTE1MQS2&rj=MjMwMjE…> Digg <http://links.ealert.nature.com/s2s?m=44925810&r=MTc3MDE3NTE1MQS2&rj=MjMwMjE…> As a registered user of Nature Publishing Group's Web sites, our database indicates that you have opted-in to receive third-party email.

[FILM-Users 00455] FILM Club Wed 29 Jan, SAFB-122: Catherine Simpson - Sort your microscopy out!
by Martin Spitaler 23 Jan '14

23 Jan '14

Dear microscopists, the first FILM Club of the new year is coming up next week Wednesday: *Catherine Simpson: "Sort your microscopy out!" Wed 29 Jan, SAFB-122, 4.30pm* Catherine Simpson is the facility manager of the Flow Cytometry Facility in South Kensington (http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/lifesciences/research/facilities/flowcytometry) In this talk, she will go into the very powerful combination of flow cytometry and microscopy to extract much more useful information from biological samples. While flow cytometry is incredibly powerful in quantifying multiple cellular parameters at high speed from large numbers of samples, it's missing one important trick: The cellular context of these parameters in time and space. This is where microscopy excels, it keeps the whole big picture intact, how molecules relate to each other, interact with each other and change over time. But this comes at the price of often lousy statistics, especially for live imaging. And it can take ages to find the 'needle in the haystack', for example a cell of a certain type, transiently transfected or with a certain expression level or combination or fluorophores. Combining the two - analysis and sorting on a FACS, live visualisation and measurement on a microscope - opens up a whole new dimension of understanding. Cells can be analysed in high numbers, rare cells sorted into microscopy multi-well plates or slides, or even re-introduced into live animals and followed up by intravital imaging. Some people ask for the ImageStream technology to analyse their samples - we can do all that and much more, at much higher magnification and over time! See you there, 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
