(This message has been sent on behalf of the FOSI organizer.) Dear everyone, Focused On Scientific Imaging (FOSI) seminar will take place on November 26th (Wednesday) at 2:30 pm in Life Sciences Centre 1003 (LSC3) or Zoom (Hybrid). We have two speakers! Lydia Li (Nabi lab, Cellular & Physiological Sciences) will give a talk titled […]

Robyn Birch (Wang lab, Materials Eng.) used the Leica Stellaris 8 Dive to look at trabecular bone with a mix of woven and lamellar bone (gray) using second harmonic generation (SHG), and blood cells (green) present in the marrow. Autofluorescence of blood cells was acquired using the multi-photon microscopy.

SEM micrographs of elongated particles of metal with carbon covering surface (left) and elongated particles of metal with carbon covering surface, containing short multi-walled carbon nanotubes (right). Images were acquired with the Zeiss XB350 SEM.

Dr. Eunji Park, a postdoctoral researcher in the Leander lab (Zoology), was able to visualize the different local microenvironment within a marine organism using the Leica Stellaris 8 FALCON. DNA was stained with a fluorescent dye. The left image shows a fluorescence image based on the intensity; the right image shows a color-coded fluorescence lifetime […]

Dr. Nicole Coots uses the Leica Stellaris 8 to study copepods collected from the open ocean in Bermuda. She used confocal and Fluorescence LifeTime Imaging Microscopy (FLIM). DAPI staining (cyan), Far-red autofluorescence (magenta), universal eukaryote FISH probe (yellow), a color-coded image of the fluorescence lifetime across the sample.
