Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to take part in the NIKON Imaging System Demo Week, which will run from Monday 24th to Friday 28th November (ICTEM Building; Room 304A).

The system on demonstration is the NIKON ECLIPSE Ji Open Architecture Digital Inverted Microscope. It is equipped with the CREST X-Light V3 Spinning Disk Confocal System.

The platform supports two main modes of use:

1. Automatic Assay Imaging – minimal user interaction; AI-driven setup and analysis for high-throughput cellular imaging assays.

2. Advanced Research Mode – full access to JOBS visual programming for customised image acquisition and analysis workflows.

Our motivation for evaluating this system is to identify an instrument that can:

• Support Master’s research projects efficiently and productively.

• Provide high-sensitivity imaging with over 95% quantum yield for detecting biological processes under physiological conditions.

• Integrate smoothly with modern AI and image analysis tools.

• Deliver high-speed imaging of tissue and organoid samples.

The FILM staff team is fully prepared to support the demo, with both David and myself experienced in maintaining and developing NIKON microscope platforms. For reference, I am also the first author of NIKON’s strategies combining automatic focus tracking with multi-point time-lapse imaging

If you are interested in testing the system, please let us know so we can reserve a slot for you. We can also accommodate long-term overnight live-cell imaging upon request.

The demo will be scientifically supported by Associate Professor Jorge Bernardino de la Serna (NHLI).

We look forward to your participation and feedback.

Best regards, Volodymyr
