...forwarded for your information - don't miss it, unlike other some talks of this series more aimed at hard-core microscopists, this one should be interesting for everyone from molecular biology to fans of Hollywood movies.... come along and see,

Tuesday, September 24, 2013 – 16:00 h
Venue: Read Lecture Theatre, Level 5, Sherfield Building, South Kensington Campus, Imperial College London

Leica Scientific Forum UK – London

Advances in Life Science Prof. Mark Ellisman
Director of NCMIR and CRBS, University of California San Diego
“Multiscale Microscopy of the Brain: Where is the Dark Matter?”

Lecture    This talk will highlight projects in which development and application of new contrasting methods and imaging tools have allowed us to observe otherwise hidden relationships be- tween cellular, subcellular and molecular constituents of cells, including those of nervous systems.

Prof. Ellisman will present

• New chemistries for carrying out correlated light and electron microscopy
• Recent advances in large-scale high-resolution 3D reconstruction with LM, TEM and SEM based methods.
• Next generation cell-centric image libraries and web-based multiscale information ex- ploration environments for sharing and exploring these data

16:00    Welcome & Introduction by Prof. Keith Willison
