September 2022 – The Live Cell Imaging facility

On the 22nd of September at 10, you get a chance to see and try the latest light sheet on the market: the Nikon Mizar TILT.

- Easy to use stage top light sheet with only 1 objective
- Imaging of cell monolayer, cells in gels, organoids in gels, small organisms…
- Samples in glass bottom multiwell chamber slides
- Stage top incubator for live sample imaging
- Advantage of using the TILT light sheet
  - low phototoxicity and bleaching even with high resolution objective
  - excellent temporal and spatial resolution for live samples
- See here for more info.

This demo is only for a limited time (10 days) and in person only. Please let us know if you want to join the demo and if you want to try your own sample.

9^th of September, 10-12am: Live/zoom demo of the latest microscope acquired by the LCI facility: Crest spinning disk with DeepSIM (new Orion)

Ti2 microscope
Crest spinning disk (identical to the one on Tweety but with slightly different wavelengths)
DeepSIM: SIM is a fast super-resolution technique which is gentle for the sample (less bleaching, less photodamage for live samples) and offers double the resolution of a confocal microscope (down to 120nm resolution), even thick in samples. It is flexible and can be used with any objectives, even low magnification air objectives.
No specific sample preparation requirements

For the best experience, join the demo in person at the LCI facility (please apply by replying to this email) but if you cannot make it, you can also listen on Zoom.

The system has been purchased by the LCI so it is here to stay! 🙂

Please let us know if you want to join the demo in person and mention if you would like to try imaging your own sample with DeepSIM.
