Dear Colleagues, I am pleased to inform you that on Thursday, 23rd May, Leica will host the first in a series of application-based workshops at the Leica Imaging Hub<https://www.imperial.ac.uk/bioengineering/about/facilities-and-services/bioscience-cores/imperialleicaimaginghub/>, located in Bessemer Building B118, South Kensington. Topic – TauSense Imaging: TauSense provides dynamic access to Fluorescence Lifetime 'Functional Imaging' information in real time and in parallel with fluorescence intensity images. Utilize lifetime-based information to explore molecular functions within a cellular context, enhance image quality, and distinguish fluorescent species beyond spectral methods. Workshop Highlights: 1. Differentiate between desired and unwanted fluorescence signals, e.g., remove Autofluorescence or reflected light (TauGating, GateScan). 2. Separate fluorophores using lifetime-based information, e.g., visualize more fluorophores, eliminate cross-excitation (TauSeparation, TauScan). 3. Highlight regions of FRET activity or mean lifetime changes (Functional Imaging, Bio Sensors). 4. Directly visualize distinct structures based on lifetime differences (TauContrast), e.g., 1 detector imaging 2 or 3 lifetime-based channels – Multiplexing, Spatial Biology. Program: 9:30 – 10:00 AM: TauSense Overview – Teams-based Webinar (Link provided upon registration) Workshop Sessions on Leica STELLARIS 8 and TauSense Operation: Session One: 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM Session Two: 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM Session Three: 2:30 PM - 4:00 PM To reserve your spot, please contact Emmanuelle Steib at emmanuelle.steib@leica-microsystems.com.
