Dear FILM-users, We had the demo of a localization-based super-resolution microscope from Abbelight at King's last year and have been contacting people interested in this afterwards regarding a possible grant application. I just wanted see if there is additional interest which we might have missed. We are still looking for a committed lead-applicant with a matching research interest and can provide help writing the grant. This is about a microscope for single molecule based PALM/STORM super-resolution microscopy. It offers higher laser power, better resolution (20 nm x 20 nm x 35 nm), a larger field of view (compared to our existing Zeiss Elyra system) and better 3D capabilities. Please see the website for details https://www.abbelight.com/solutions/abbelight-instruments/#SAFe360 This instrument will be as demanding in sample preparation as our Elyra system and only works well with specific bright fluorophores, very high labelling density, special buffer conditions and it takes time to figure these out for an individual sample. Please contact me if you are interested in this project Best wishes Andreas ---------------------------------------------------- Dr Andreas Bruckbauer FILM facility manager Sir Alexander Fleming Building South Kensington Campus Imperial College London Exhibition Road London, SW7 2AZ SAF 4th floor, open space desk 401 +44 (0)20 7594 2023 a.bruckbauer@imperial.ac.uk<mailto:a.bruckbauer@imperial.ac.uk> http://www.imperial.ac.uk/medicine/facility-for-imaging-by-light-microscopy/ ----------------------------------------------------
