Mission
Our mission is to support core research on polymers.
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!

Soft Matter Characterization Instruments are hosted by the Department of Macromolecular Science and Engineering at Case Western Reserve University. The include thermal analysis, molecular weight characterization, microsocopy, and X-ray scattering. These instruments are managed by two technical staffs and a number of graduate students and postdocs.
