This year’s theme, Microscopy Enabled by Direct Electron Detection, is intended to capture the tremendous new science now being enabled by modern detector technologies.

This webinar, presented by Prof. Wesley Browne, University of Groningen, will focus on Raman spectroscopy. Raman spectroscopy combines the information density of vibrational spectroscopy with the experimental flexibility of optical spectroscopy and provides label free analysis of samples.

A two-day annual confocal course utilising different sample types and fluorescent probes which are chosen to best demonstrate particular problems and techniques. Focus is always on the techniques they enable and the problems they generate.

Product Manager Dr Colin Coates is going to present two important scientific camera technologies that are designed primarily to tackle the challenge of offering superb sensitivity AND very rapid sensor readout combined: Electron Multiplying CCDs (EMCCDs) and Scientific CMOS (sCMOS)

The summer school covers all of the available super-resolution imaging systems including single molecule localisation, stimulated emission depletion and structured illumination microscopies, as well as acquisition which include sample preparation, analysis and standardisation.

This webinar will demonstrate how participants can extract more information from fluorescence images by combining computational super-resolution microscopy with fluorescence fluctuation techniques using only existing ImageJ plugins and widely existing setups of commercially available TIRF/SPIM microscope and cameras.

The focus will be on ‘how-to’ image and analyse, prepare samples, labels and protocols, as well as enabling collaborations and inspiring new scientific ideas.
