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
The Imaging & Optics Facility is expanding their services with the installing of a new photopatterning. To introduce this new service, we are hosting a seminar about the differend technologies that the Alvéole Primo System offers
- Micropatterning
- Microfabrication
- Hydrogel structuration
The seminar is held on Jule, 21; 10:00-11:30h, Seminar room Mondi 3 / ZOOM.
We hope you will tune in to learn about the new possibilities the the Alvéole Primo photopatterning device offers for you.

PreSemester MICROSCOPY Course 2022/2023
The (pre-semester) microscopy course is organized by the Imaging & Optics Facility (IOF) and aims to generate the understanding of how to design your experiments using matching imaging techniques. As a red line we raise awareness of the importance of proper data acquisition and the timely image analysis assessments during essay establishment: timely assay-evaluation is critical to determine if the fundamental ‘properties of process of interest’ can be resolved and quantified by the used imaging approach. To this aim, participants will be introduced to contemporary microscopy techniques, with a focus on the methods that are available at ISTA campus. Lectures will cover microscopy-related principles of optics, principles of fluorescence, anatomy of the microscope, sample preparation, methods of optical sectioning, image acquisition methods, super-resolution technologies, basics of electron microscopy and the basics of data analysis.
the Bioimaging Facility is providing the ‘Annual Microscopy Course’ on 26- 27 September (all day), and on 3-6 October (half day mornings).
Details for registration for the course will be made available on the GraduateSchool IQ-page (to be updated). The Microscopy Course (C_OTH-301_F21) uses the online Moodle Platform (to be updated).
