As a postdoc in the early 2000s, Dr. Ruth Empson worked with one of the first multiphoton microscopy systems in Britain. The technology was robust, she said, but handling it could sometimes prove a bit of a challenge – especially for a biologist like herself, who didn’t have the technical background of the physicists who had developed it and who, at the time, made up much of its user base.

Optogenetics Advances Ultrafast Lasers
The evolving and dynamic field of functional brain mapping is creating a need for customized lasers. Optogenetics is enabling scientists to use light to activate or inhibit signaling among neurons and, in some cases, to link details of neural network operation to behavioral and sensory functions of the whole animal.

Establishing a standard could allow microscopists to verify and reproduce results. Laboratory managers and researchers generally agree that having more accuracy and consistency in color rendition could assist in achieving improved evaluation of results. However, color management has seemed so complex and elusive that many scientists and medical professionals have given up on achieving it.

Lessons Learned in Biophotonic Systems Design
New multiparametric modeling tools drastically simplify the design of complex biophotonic systems. For all the sophistication of modern engineering practice, the design of complex biophotonic systems remains as much an art as a science. This means that the skill and insights of individual designers and design teams are critical to the performance of the system.

Imaging Biology at High Spatiotemporal Resolution
Wednesday, October 29, 1 p.m. EDT
FREE WEBINAR
Hari Shroff

Presented by Hari Shroff
National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIH)
Hari Shroff will present alternative SIM implementations that permit resolution doubling in live volumes greater than 10 times thicker than possible with conventional SIM, as well as a hardware modification that enables effectively "instant" SIM imaging at rates 10 to 100 times faster than other SIM implementations.
The second half of the talk will focus on the development of inverted selective plane illumination microscopy (iSPIM); progress that quadruples the axial resolution of iSPIM by utilizing a second specimen view, thus enabling imaging with isotropic spatial resolution (dual-view iSPIM, or diSPIM); and introduction of a protocol for a do-it-yourself diSPIM.
