The Evolution of Microscopy – Current Landscape and Considerations
Wed, Jun 18, 2025 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM EDT
David Biss of Optikos walks through a brief history and primer on microscopy, which was largely unchanged until the last 70 years. With that backdrop, this presentation delves into common types of modern microscopy: confocal microscopy, fluorescence microscopy, multiphoton microscopy, and superresolution microscopy. He explores a comparison of similarities and differences between these modalities and considerations for selection. Attendees will learn that the optical principles of lens design for microscope objectives have not changed significantly over time, i.e., the importance of contrast and resolution. However, new microscopy modalities have improved the core principles to address specific market applications. Specifically, microscopy has evolved significantly from early single-lens devices to sophisticated techniques capable of observing individual molecules and complex biological processes. Key advancements include improvements in lens technology, the development of various light sources, the introduction of fluorescence microscopy, and the rise of super resolution microscopy techniques. Presented by Optikos.

Tools for Analyzing, Controlling, and Simulating Biological Systems
Tue, Jun 24, 2025 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT
It was discovered that one can physically magnify biological specimens by synthesizing dense networks of swellable polymer throughout them, and then chemically processing the specimens to isotropically swell them. This method, which is called expansion microscopy, enables ordinary microscopes to do nanoimaging – important for mapping molecules throughout cells, tissues, and organs. As a second example, Ed’s team serendipitously discovered that microbial rhodopsins, genetically expressed in neurons, could enable their electrical activity to be precisely controlled in response to light. These molecules, now called optogenetic tools, enable causal assessment of how neurons contribute to behaviors and pathological states, and are yielding new candidate treatment strategies for brain diseases. Finally, the development of new strategies such as robotic directed evolution, fluorescent reporters enable the precision measurement of signals such as voltage. To reveal relationships between different molecular signals within a cell, there is work of developing spatial and temporal multiplexing strategies that enable many such signals to be imaged at once in the same living cell.
