New Directions in Microscopy Illumination
Wednesday, August 13, 2014 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT
FREE WEBINAR
Part I - Accelerating spectral pathology with QCL imaging
Dr. Michael Walsh of the University of Illinois at Chicago will discuss the impact of new, broadly tunable mid-infrared quantum cascade lasers on microscopy.
Part II - New approaches to fluorescence stereo microscopy
Dr. John Celenza of Boston University will discuss research applications using the green fluorescent protein reporter to monitor plant defense responses. Dr. Casey Roehrig of Harvard University will illustrate the use of fluorescence as a powerful tool for undergraduates to study gene expression and protein localization. Jessie Herbert of the University of Montana SpectrUM Discovery Area will demonstrate how fluorescence enlivens community outreach in science with hands-on experiments.
