The Imaging and Optics Facility (IOF) is developing continuously. On this page we provide an overview of the ongoing activities in our events calendar (current maintenance, workshops, equipment demonstrations, courses,.. ), and link to the archive of our weekly update newsletter. to previous teaching activities (courses & seminars) and equipment demonstration & workshops.
Events
Please find below the agenda for the upcoming introduction of the Impetux Sensocell Optical Trap system. The introduction takes place between Dec. 16th and Dec. 18th, and is for selected trainees only! On Dec. 19 we will host the Impetux seminar and demonstration (remote mode) about the system, open to the general public. For additional details please see the text below.

- Groups: Group 1: Imaging and Optics Facility Group 2: Representatives of Heisenberg, Loose and Sixt Scientific groups.
- Sessions 1 and 2: General introduction: assembly of chambers (sample preparation) and model applications.For this session the materials will be provided by Impetux.
- Test applications (session 3): Group 1: H2B.8 variant increases nuclear flexibility in response to mechanical forces in the cell. Group 2: Intracellular rheology – myoplasm viscosity/rigidity (Heisenberg) • beads and colloids in assemblies of in vitro reconstituted protein filaments (Lose) • Cell dynamics driven by motile objects (Sixt)
- Location: The practical sessions will take place at the new Crest Optics X-Light V3 setup, room i04.UG.019.
The Imaging and Optics Facility is expanding its equipment park with the addition of an Impetux SENSOCELL Optical Trap system.
The Impetux Sensocell makes use of a unique technology that enables mechanical measurements to be conducted without the need for calibration steps allowing for force probing assays under in-vivo conditions. The system will be integrated with a new Crest Optics X-Light V3 high-speed Spinning Disk microscope.this
This hybrid demonstration will showcasing real applications on the new setup (after its installation) – open to all, but also part of the training of the selected trainees.

Dear all,
Welcome to ISTA and thank you for your interest to start using laser equipment. This general laser safety training is meant for NEW scientists and staff that are planning to use laser based equipment and/or need access to a laser lab. New users of microscopes of the IOF machine park have to sign up for the IOF Newcomer training, where the laser safety to use microscopes is already included. This General laser safety training is planned for every first Monday of the month, at 15:00h and normally takes about 30 minutes
Request for “General Laser Safety Training”
This training is required by austrian law and will be held in person. When you sign up via email you will receive a room number for the next training.
