Life Sciences Webinar Series

Life Science Webinar Series
Recent developments in electron microscopy have generated a renaissance in biological imaging, allowing researchers to visualize 3D structures of biological entities at the molecular scale - including viruses, protein complexes and individual proteins. Equally important, the refinement of cryogenic sample preparation, sample handling techniques and automation have permitted investigation of these structures in a fully hydrated state and in their native context. Electron microscopy is being used today in leading research laboratories around the world to better understand the HIV virus, the SARS virus, connectomics of the brain, visual proteomics and other scientific discoveries.
Topic:
Cryo-TEM: the way to answer real biological questions through unraveling the 3D mechanistics of protein machineries
Description:
Cryo-Transmission Electron Microscopy provides a unique value when paired with NMR and XRD analysis because it is the only technique which allows unraveling the 3D structure of protein complexes and molecular machines in their natural functional context. This webinar discusses the latest workflow solutions that FEI has come up with in order to meet the scientific demands of today's structural biology research, and discusses how adding this workflow to analysis with NMR and XRD can provide structural biologists with the most comprehensive results.

Cryo-TEM Webinar June 2012   (recorded June 14th, 2012)

Topic:
Correlative Microscopy - Different Flavors
Description:
Over the last decade, electron microscopy techniques have evolved from delivering 2D information to delivering robust 3D information with a main focus on the architecture of organelles on a subcellular level. These techniques have yielded important new insights in intracellular architecture and connectivity of organelles.  However, understanding complex biological systems requires knowing how this high resolution 3D Electron microscopy data correlates with the situation in-vitro or even better, in-vivo. To obtain more complete and meaningful information about the biological processes within a cell, developments have taken place to combine light microscopy data with electron microscopy data.  In this webinar we will present two novel techniques that enable the correlation of these two microscopy domains: one where both techniques are combined in one instrument and the other where the data of these techniques can be combined in an easy and intuitive way.

Topic:
An Introduction to TILL Photonics: From Real Time Imaging to Confocal Microscopy
Description:
TILL Photonics introduces their product portfolio for fluorescence microscopy. This includes real time imaging systems with fast light sources and the modular and flexible microscopy platform iMIC.  Confocal images can be obtained with the spinning disk unit Andromeda or two-photon microscopes, which will also be introduced in the webinar.  New directions in correlative microscopy and the integration of light and electron microscopes will be presented.

LS Webinar 2011-12-14 Intro to TILL-Photonics   (recorded December 14, 2011)

Topic:
Live Cell Imaging
Description:
Many advanced fluorescence microscopy techniques can  be easily combined in a single instrument. The iMIC microscopy system allows for fast switching between FRAP, FRET, TIRF and confocal microscopy.  The integration of these techniques and their application for studying biological systems will be covered in the webinar.

Intro To EM for Life Sciences Webcast - 720   (recorded January 13, 2010)

Topic:
High-throughput 3D Cellular Imaging
Description:
Recent technological developments offer SEM resolution that approaches TEM resolution typically required for this type of application. Further we found that Focused Ion Beam (FIB) technology allows automated sectioning with a slice thickness that is almost freely programmable. FEI is the pioneer of the combining SEM and FIB technology in one platform (DualBeam) and here we explain how our DualBeam Technology can be applied as a fully automated serial sectioning tool.
