ALERT

Event: Nanoscopy Imaging Using STED 3X Technology – Achieving Resolutions Down to 30nm (Registry Required)
Date: Friday, Nov. 22nd. Time: 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM
Location: Biomedical Research Building, Room 105

Overview:
The seminar will cover the fundamentals and capabilities of STED 3X Nanoscopy and Confocal Super-Resolution technology. STED (Stimulated Emission Depletion) allows for super-resolution imaging purely through optical means, built on a confocal platform. Using the Leica TCS SP8 system, you can achieve 30nm XY and 130nm Z resolutions in STED mode, as well as 140nm XY and 300nm Z resolutions in confocal super-resolution mode, all powered by Leica’s exclusive White Light Laser (tunable from 470–670 nm) in a single system.

Hands-On Training (Registry Required):

Following the seminar, we'll be hosting four one-hour training sessions for STED users from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM. Due to time constraints, each session will be limited, but it's a fantastic opportunity for our local imaging community.

Please register here. We look forward to seeing you there!

Swagelok Center for Surface Analysis of Materials

Overview of Services

The Swagelok Center for Surface Analysis of Materials (SCSAM) is a premier Case Western Reserve core facility in the Case School of Engineering (CSE) that provides a variety of instrumentation and staff expertise for advanced materials characterization and research. High performance optical, electron, and atomic force microscopes allow for high-resolution imaging and characteriztion of a wide range of materials. The facility also incorporates chemical analysis instrumentation effective for determining the chemical state and composition from the nanometer, surface scale to the millimeter, bulk scale. X-ray diffraction and nanoindentation instrumentation offer the capabilitly to measure structural and mechanical properties of materials. The facility is operated by an experienced, proficient staff of four engineers and one staff director that support academic, research, and industry customers. Each year more than 150 individual researchers from the academic, non-profit, and commercial sectors recognize the advantages and benefits SCSAM delivers.

SCSAM engineers are currently training users on the Helios, Apreo, XPS, XRD, Keyence Optical Microscope, Keyence 3D Profilometer, Portable XRF, AFM, Nanoindenter, Ion Polisher, Sputter Coater, and Struers Polishing System.

Contact one of the SCSAM engineers for information on the training protocols and to schedule a training session.
