Welcome!
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!
(hide this warning on this page)Since its opening in July, 2011, the Materials for Opto/Electronics Research and Education (MORE) Center has advanced science and innovation with facilities and expertise enabling the fabrication and characterization of materials and devices for emerging electronic and optoelectronic technologies, including solar cells and lighting. A hub for undergraduate and graduate research, education, and collaboration, the center has 27 tools available for both direct use and service work; in addition to a suite of thin film deposition options, the MORE Center has profilometry, ellipsometry, and microscopy characterization tools, a cleanroom facility, electron and photolithography capabilities, and inert gloveboxes for work with air sensitive materials. In thirteen years of operation, the MORE Center has amassed over 700 users from research groups across Arts and Sciences, the Case School of Engineering, the School of Dental Medicine, and the Case School of Medicine. The MORE Center is open to internal, external academic and industrial users.
