FILM users may be interested in his talk. http://loci.wisc.edu/people/kevin-eliceiri http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/newsandeventspggrp/imperialcollege/naturalscienc… I will send you the title and abstract as soon as I have it. This talk will be preceded by one from Steve Jaques, see attached poster in Lecture Theatre 2 Blackett at 12pm, which may also be of interest. best regards, Chris --------------------- Chris Dunsby 020 7594 7755 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Optically probing the nanoarchitecture of cells and tissues Prof. Steven Jacques, Oregon Health & Science University, Portland, USA Tuesday June 4th, Lecture Theatre 2, Blackett Tea, coffee and biscuits from 11:45, seminar from 12pm Abstract Optical measurements are sensitive to structures on the size scale of a wavelength of light. Hence, cellular and extra-cellular structures with sizes in the range of 200-2000 um dominate optical measurements of biological tissues. The contribution from very small structures (<200 um) is still detectable, however, as apparent "Rayleigh scattering" which is significant in tissues with collagen. Two measurements are able to discern the size distribution: (1) Confocal reflectance measurements as the depth position (z) of the focus is scanned down into the tissue, ( ) . (2) Wavelength dependence of diffuse light reflectance. Such measurements offer an opportunity to assess and monitor the nanoarchitecture and microarchitecture of skin and other tissues. Detecting the effects of pathology, actinic damage, and pharmaceuticals on the skin are potential applications of these non-invasive optical methods. About Prof. Jacques Steven Jacques has held appointments at the Wellman Center for Photomedicine and Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School and University of Texas. He is currently Professor of Dermatology and Biomedical Engineering at Oregon Health & Science University in Portland, Oregon. His work continues on developing novel uses of optical technologies for both therapy and diagnosis. He developed a hand-held polarized light camera to visualize skin cancer margins and guide surgical excision, tested in clinical trials and licensed to a company. Professor Jacques currently works on bridging between the possibilities afforded by optical technologies and the needs of molecular and cellular biology. In particular, he is developing novel microscopes that are sensitive to the ultrastructure of cells and tissues. LUNCHTIME SEMINAR SERIES

In PAT, pulsed laser light penetrates the tissue and generates a small but rapid temperature rise, which induces emission of ultrasonic waves thermoelastically. The ultrasonic waves, ~1000 times less scattering than optical waves in tissue, are then detected to form high-resolution images at depths up to 7 cm, breaking through the optical diffusion limit (~1 mm in the skin). Super-resolution beyond the optical diffraction limit has also been achieved recently. PAT is the only modality capable of imaging across the length scales of organelles, cells, tissues, and organs with consistent contrast. This technology has the potential to accelerate translation from microscopic laboratory discoveries to macroscopic clinical practice. Description: cid:image004.jpg@01CADA46.44592820 Lihong Wang earned his PhD at Rice University, Houston, USA, under the tutelage of Robert Curl, Richard Smalley and Frank Tittel. His laboratory invented functional photoacoustic tomography, 3D photoacoustic microscopy, and time-reversed ultrasonically encoded (TRUE) optical focusing. Professor Wang has published 335 journal articles and delivered 357 invited talks. His Google Scholar h-index and citations have reached 75 and 22,500 respectively and he has received 33 grants as PI with a budget of $39 million. He co-founded two companies to commercialise photoacoustic tomography. He is the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Biomedical Optics and a Fellow of the AIMBE, OSA, IEEE, and SPIE. He was awarded OSA's C.E.K. Mees Medal and IEEE's Technical Achievement Award for "seminal contributions to photoacoustic tomography and Monte Carlo modelling of photon transport in biological tissues and for leadership in the international biophotonics community".

Many thanks. Best, Robert --------------- Open Postdoc Position in Experimental Systems Biology of Phagocytosis at Imperial College, London: A 20-months post-doctoral research position is available at Imperial College London to apply a systems-biology approach and quantitative imaging to phagocytosis, i.e. how cells of our immune system bind, engulf, and destroy bacteria and inert particles. Phagocytosis is a spatio-temporally defined multi-step process including ligand-receptor binding and signalling to the cell’s acto-myosin cytoskeleton for engulfment. Quantitative imaging is essential in order to understand better how these processes are coordinated and sensitive to the physical properties of the particle (size, shape, elasticity, ligand density). The successful candidate will image receptors, actin and myosin proteins in phagocytic cups using live-cell fluorescence microscopy of transfected RAW macrophage-like cells, as well as scanning-electron microscopy to quantify cup shapes. He/she will conduct phagocytic assays of bacteria and opsonized particles of different shapes coupled with dissection of the underlying cell signalling. Assays may also be conducted in a flow chamber. The successful candidate will join the lab of Prof. Gadi Frankel (g.frankel(a)imperial.ac.uk) in the Department of Cell and Molecular Biology located on South Kensington campus. The group works in molecular pathogenesis, host-pathogen interactions, and experimental systems biology. The project will be conducted in close collaboration with modeller and biological physicist Dr. Robert Endres at Imperial College. A modeller postdoc will conduct image analysis and modelling. Further support will be provided by the FILM imaging centre for light microscopy at Imperial College, featuring state-of-the-art equipment. The successful candidate will hold a PhD (or equivalent qualification) in molecular or cell biology with expertise in tissue culture, fluorescence microscopy and laboratory assays, as well as strong interest in a multidisciplinary collaborating with modellers.

Dear microscopy users, is anybody interested in this technology? In principle, what it does is generating high-contrast images in 'brightfield' mode, without any staining. If several people are interested, we could organise an on-site demonstration. Good imaging, Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------- Original Message -------- Subject: RE: Simple camera for quantitative phase imaging - SID4Bio Date: Fri, 3 May 2013 18:39:23 +0200 From: Aurelie Azam <azam(a)phasics.fr> To: 'Martin Spitaler' <m.spitaler(a)imperial.ac.uk> Dear Martin, Thank you for your interest. We are not related to Phasefocus. We provide the same type of images: quantitative phase image, but we rely on another technology. We integrate a specific grating in front of our camera that will enable generating the phase image. There are three main advantages as compared to the Phasefocus technique. First we do not need for scanning: one acquisition provide one image. So we can do real time imaging and we don't need mechanical part. Secondly, our technology does not require laser source and can work with white light illumination with or without filter. Consequently, it can fit any set-up and simultaneously works with other modalities such as fluorescence . Finally, our technology presents as a simple camera that plugs on the microscope. So it is very simple to put in place (no scanning stage, no other source are needed). If quantitative phase imaging is of interest for you, I would be really pleased to discuss with you and explain further our technology. I would also be pleased to learn more about our projects and understand how phase imaging would be of help for them. I will not be at my office next week but would it possible to call you the week after?

It applies to the study of individual cell or cell populations in matter such as *cells migration, growth, death, intracellular processes, drugs effect comparison or parasite counting*.... The instrument simply plugs on the C-mount of *any microscope* and does not require any specific dishes. Thus it can work simultaneously with fluorescence, thus it is possible to observe the interaction of labeled molecules (proteins, DNA...) in their global environment.

Although technically more challenging, live cell imaging enables researchers to study cellular events and processes that cannot be visualized in fixed specimens and to follow short- and long-term dynamic processes to gain deeper insights into the complex mechanisms of cell biology. In this webinar viewers will: - learn from our speakers the benefits of imaging live cells using techniques such as high resolution microscopy, superresolution microscopy, and high-content analysis - receive practical advice on how to overcome some of the technical challenges in live cell imaging - obtain guidance on how they can modify their imaging practices to obtain superior results - have their questions answered by our respected thought leaders. *Participants:* Lynne Turnbull, Ph.D. University of Technology Sydney, Australia Edward M.
