Dear microscopists, as part of the move of NHLI from the Brompton to the Hammersmith campus FILM has been asked to organise a new local microscopy unit there. In preparation for the purchase of the required equipment, we are organising demonstrations of various microscope options over the coming ~two months. As in the past, everybody is invited to come along and test the microscopes with their own samples. Either company people or FILM staff will be available to help users with the testing. Afterwards, please tell us your opinion about quality, sensitivity, speed, usability, flexibility, software, .... , the more feedback from various users with different samples we get, the better is. The first demo will be next week. A ZEISS LSM-780 confocal microscope is going to be available Tue 13 - Thu 15 Sept 2011 here in the Fleming Building (South Kensington) in room 530 (next to CF1). If you are interested, please get in contact with FILM staff (Steve, Mark or myself) and book your slot. For CF1 users: On Tue-Wed the confocal should be available, but the room might be more crowded than usual. Looking forward to your feedback, 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@imperial.ac.uk Website: http://imperial.ac.uk/imagingfacility
