Protocols Introduced for Graphene-Based Array for Biophotonics Applications
The fabrication and use of transparent graphene-based neural electrode arrays for applications in fluorescent microscopy, OCT and optogenetics have been described in detail by the researchers who developed the array. The arrays could provide opportunities to advance techniques that may not be possible using conventional opaque metal electrode arrays.

An Introduction to Back Illuminated sCMOS Cameras
Tue, Feb 14, 2017 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EST
Scientific CMOS (sCMOS) cameras are increasingly becoming detectors of choice for a range of quantitative imaging and spectroscopy applications. This webinar, presented by Princeton Instruments, will give you an overview of sCMOS camera technology and how it compares to CCD, EMCCD and ICCD low light imaging and spectroscopy detectors. It will cover the key improvements of "back illuminated" sCMOS technology over previous generations; performance criteria of low light detectors; and how to select the optimum detector technology based on your application requirements. The webinar is aimed at both beginners and advanced users of various optical diagnostic techniques.

High-Speed Imaging At and Beyond the Diffraction Limit
Thu, Feb 16, 2017 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EST
Hari Shroff, Ph.D., head of the Section on High Resolution Optical Imaging at the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB), will speak on his lab's latest work to develop high-resolution optical methods for the study of live, dynamic, 3D samples, including efforts to improve structured illumination microscopy (SIM) and light-sheet microscopy. He will also discuss developments in inverted selective plane illumination microscopy (iSPIM) and dual-view iSPIM.
