KAUST Imaging & Characterization Core Lab presents:
The Evolution of Cell Understanding
“Advanced Biological Optical Microscopy” Workshop
—An implementation of KAUST-Leica Center of Excellence
March 4-5, 2019
9:00 a.m. – 3:15 p.m.
Building 3, level 5, room 5220
The KAUST Imaging & Characterization Core Laboratory (IAC) is pleased to invite you to a two-day workshop on advanced biological optical microscopy. Attendees will learn about recent techniques in the microscopy field for probing biological samples. Current trends in light microscopy techniques will be introduced, including high-speed, high-quality imaging of thick, 3D samples (THUNDER); new filter-less multiphoton technique (DIVE); fast FLIM system (FACON); dye free coherent anti-stokes raman scattering (CARS) and correlative microscopy which integrates electron microscope and optical microscope benefits (Cryo-CLEM).
Speakers from the KAUST Biological and Environmental Science and Engineering Division (BESE) will discuss their latest discoveries in cellular and plant studies, and experts from Leica Microsystems will present novel applications in biological imaging techniques.
The workshop will offer sample test sessions using the super-resolution microscope STED and digital light sheet DLS system available in the IAC Core Lab. Attendees will have an opportunity to obtain the imaging results of their own samples with the support from the IAC Core Lab scientists and Leica Microsystems experts.
All KAUST researchers, students and staff are warmly welcomed to join the event.
Seats are limited, therefore please register before February 28, 2019.
