Frequency-Domain Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging System Improvements and Applications
Frequency-Domain Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging System Improvements and Applications
Wed, Nov 20, 2019 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM EST
Since its introduction in 2014, the FD-FLIM pco.flim camera system has been applied to many different areas, from FRET to endogenous fluorescence, from oxygen to pH measurement, from large technical applications to light-sheet microscopy. In this webinar presented by PCO, Gerhard Holst will demonstrate and discuss improvements in the use and applicability of the pco.flim camera. New results including investigation of microplastics on lab filters, pH measurements, oxygen measurements in a marine environment, assistance for neurosurgery, and rapid FD-FLIM measurements will be shown to demonstrate the flexibility of the pco.flim camera system.

3D Microprinting: How Small Can We Go?
3D Microprinting: How Small Can We Go?
Tue, Nov 19, 2019 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM EST
High-resolution and submicron precision are key requirements for producing 3D polymer structures at microscale for use in industrial applications. In this webinar you will learn about two-photon polymerization (2PP), a technology that enables 3D-printing resolution as small as 0.2 µm. The presenter will provide examples of applications in different fields, such as micro-optics, microfluidics, metamaterials, and scaffold for tissue engineering.
