Events
Multi-dimensional live and fixed microscope data can be collected in many ways and with a wide range of imaging modalities to help advance cellular, animal and large sample/cleared sample imaging to the next level.
CEMAS is pleased to offer our practical course "On The Scope – A Masterclass in Practical Scanning Electron Microscopy" in May 2023. This course was over-subscribed last year so we encourage you to register soon!
At the March 3, 2023 annual meeting of the Arizona Imaging & Microanalysis Society (AIMS) held in Flagstaff, AZ, the following UA students came home with poster prizes.
The 8th Charleston Workshop on LIGHT MICROSCOPY FOR THE BIOSCIENCES (LMB) will provide a solid introduction to the concepts and practical applications of light microscopy relevant to modern cell and molecular biology under the direction of Dr. John J. Lemasters.
Patty Jansma, MS has been named the winner of the 2023 Hildegard H. Crowley Award, given by the Microscopy Society of America.
QFM 2023 is an international course in fluorescence microscopy and imaging for advanced graduate students, postdoctoral trainees, imaging core managers and researchers at all levels who are incorporating the technology into their laboratories.
Entries are officially open for the 2023 Royal Microscopy Society (RMS) Scientific Imaging Competition. Taking place every two years, this exciting, international competition showcases the breath-taking and engaging beauty of the microscopical world.
The RII Core Facilities Pilot Program is designed to support three key types of activity within the RII-managed core facilities.
The expansion microscopy user group brings together researchers to share experiences to enable rapid uptake of the technology. The group is open to anyone interested including all career stages and levels of experience with expansion microscopy.
Did you know that...
There are a number of interesting and (perhaps) unexpected core facilities on campus. If you need to repair a piece of equipment or perhaps build something very specific, check out:
MicroManager is free, open source software for controlling motorized microscopes, stages, filter wheels, shutters, cameras, COM ports
The RII Translational BioImaging Resource provides
Over the last several years (2010-present) Nature Methods has run a series of short (usually 1-2 page) articles called "Points of View" that discussed topics including:
