A meeting of the I3 (Infection, Inflammation and Immunotherapy) community at Bristol Veterinary School.
Alan and Pete from Atlantic Imaging will deliver a presentation (and technical support) on the School's recently refurbished inverted fluorescence microscope. This is useful tool for transfection work, live cell imaging, screening plates, etc.
The Vett school has recently refurbished a fully motorised Inverted microscope, giving the ability to image cells and tissue in a range of containers/dishes/slides etc. using a sensitive monochrome camera.
The microscope is also equipped with a full incubation chamber, enabling heat and CO2 to be maintained during long time-lapse experiments.
Imaging modalities are brightfield, phase and fluorescence, and the new software (Volocity acquisition) allows users to set up and image single and multiple points over time, in both brightfield and fluorescence.
On Tuesday 28th (at 10.30) there will be a short presentation in the Churchill Seminar Room, where Alan and Pete from Atlantic Imaging will give a demonstration of the system capabilities, driving the system remotely, such that you will be able to see the software and imaging in use on the big screen.
This will be followed by a question answer session on the capabilities of the system and suitability for your experiments.
Alan and Pete will then be around for most of the day, to offer introductory sessions on the system with your own samples if you have any to hand or with prepared sections on slide if not.
