DEMO: Nikon SIM-TIRF, October 4th-20th 2021

The Bioimaging Facility at IST Austria is hosting a demonstration of a Nikon N-SIM system from October 4th – 20th, 2021. The N-SIM S Super Resolution Microscope is a unique high-speed structured illumination system that achieves acquisition speeds of up to 15 fps, enabling fast biological processes to be captured at twice the spatial resolution of conventional light microscopes (up to 115nm in XY). Combining the N-SIM S and a confocal microscope gives you the flexibility to select a location in the confocal image and switch to super-resolution to view the desired part of the location in minute detail.

DEMO: Olympus VS200 slide scanner, 19-31 July 2021

The Bioimaging Facility at IST Austria is hosting a demonstration of the Olympus VS200, another high-throughput slide scanning system. Benefits of this system: Flexibility to use dry, silicone oil or oil objectives Automatic oil dispenser Possibility to manually adjust and place focus points Separate slide holder for 210 slides that can be (un)loaded during imaging Priority scanning: stops batch scan to image important single scan and resumes batch scan afterwards   DEMO SCHEDULE:  The system will be installed on the 19.07.2021 and subsequently will be available for testing for two weeks until 31.07. in Lab building West (room i21.U1.027) Contact Read More …

DEMO: PRIMO Micropatterning, 22 June – 22 July 2021

The Bioimaging Facility at IST Austria is hosting a demonstration of Alvéole’s PRIMO system: a UV-light based micropatterning system. This micropatterning system works as a UV-projector that is coupled to a microscope. In this way you are able to project any microscopic image onto your sample with UV light which opens up a long list of possible applications: Create controlled and reproducible microenvironments for cells, tissue engineering, spheroids, etc. Control adhesion forces, cell confinement, cell migration, tissue engineering Contactless and maskless photopatterning DEMO SCHEDULE:  The Alvéole’s PRIMO will be installed on the 22.06.2021 and subsequently it is available for testing Read More …
