BioDIP Summer Seminar "Less scatter more image: tissue clearing techniques"
Speakers: Uwe Schröer (LaVision BioTec): "Sample Preparation of Thick Tissues for Light Sheet Microscopy" Olaf Selchow (Carl Zeiss Microscopy): "Imaging Optically Cleared Specimen with Light Sheet Fluorescence Microscopy" Date: June 30, 2015 Time: 2-4pm Location: CRTD, Seminar room 2 Tissue clearing allows imaging deep into large biological samples such as tissue sections, brains, embryos, organs or spheroids. The enhanced optical penetration depth can be used to image fluorescently labeled structures within large tissue samples such as whole mouse brains with high resolution. The focus of this seminar will be to show different methods of tissue clearing and how cleared samples are imaged best. |

Engineering fluorescence for microscopy
Speaker: Nick J Dolman PhD From: Research & Development Molecular Probes Labeling and Detection Technologies Thermo Fisher Scientific When: Friday, 16th January 2015 Time: 11:00 Where: Small Auditorium, MPI-CBG Fluorescence microscopy is one of the most commonly employed techniques in cell biology. Data from fluorescence imaging offers the benefit of both spatial and temporal resolution as well as multi-parametric analysis of cells in heterogenous populations. This technical seminar will provide an introduction to fluorescence, discussion of the properties of fluorescent dyes and proteins. Strategies for engineering fluorophores to optimize them for imaging applications will be described using recently developed technologies to illustrate these approaches. Considerations for labeling live and fixed cells will be presented with an emphasis on super-resolution microscopy. |

In this talk, Dr. Abbey Weith overview Optofluidics’ NanoTweezer
Technology, the first commercial system capable of performing chemical identification and direct surface measurements on single nanoparticles in solution. Using proprietary nanophotonic devices and microfluidics, the NanoTweezer works by directly optically trapping small scale objects in solution and analyzing their scattered light, enabling the system to extract meaningful physical and chemical parameters. Unlike traditional free space optical traps which are light diffraction limited and thus can only influence dielectric objects larger than a hundred nanometers in size, the NanoTweezer technology is powered by proprietary nanophotonic waveguides which are engineered to exert stronger optical forces via light confinement and resonance, enabling a technological leap in trapping and analysis capability. The talk will cover the technology’s working principles (including waveguide capturing and single particle Raman spectroscopy) and its applications to nanomedicine, nanotoxicology and other fields. The system is commercially available in Germany. |

ABOUT THE PRACTICAL COURSE
Light-sheet microscopy is an emerging technology that enables imaging of biological specimens with minimal photo-damage. It opens new avenues to study cell biological and developmental processes with unprecedented imaging speed. It also facilitates systems biology approaches by quantitative imaging of entire living systems. Light-sheet microscopy has only recently left the optical tables of technology developers and became more broadly available through commercial and open-access platforms. This EMBO Practical Course will comprehensively introduce the light sheet microscopy paradigm to the new generation of scientists. Visit the website: http://events.embo.org/14-lsm/ |

CARS Microscopy: a new label-free imaging technique
Speakers: PD Dr. Gerald Steiner / Roberta Galli: Cells and tissue in the
spotlight: label-free optical analysis
(Clinical Sensoring and Monitoring)
Prof. Dr. Matthias Kirsch / Dr. Ortrud Uckermann: The optical
fingerprint of brain tumors
(Department of Neurosurgery)
Prof. Dr. Matthias Kirsch / Robert Later: CARS imaging of the
regenerating axolotl spinal cord
(Department of Neurosurgery and CRTD)
Date: 24th of June 2014 Time: 3-5 pm Location: CRTD, Auditorium (left half) Host: BioDIP Resolving biological processes often relies on increasing the contrast by staining with e.g. fluorescent dyes. This labeling step can perturb the specimen and is often not desired e.g. in investigations in vivo. Vibrational spectroscopy, such as Raman and infrared spectroscopy, is a label free technique that provides direct molecular and structural information. The spectra of these complementary methods are hence referred to as molecular fingerprint. Infrared spectroscopy imaging and Coherent anti Stokes Raman spectroscopy (CARS) are relatively new techniques for a very fast and sensitive label-free microscopy of cells and tissues. We will present applications of these fast, label-free and in vivo techniques, among others for studying spinal cord regeneration in several animal models (rat, axolotl) and for observing tumor cells both in vivo and in cell culture. |

We kindly invite you to an interactive seminar about Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy with talks and a follow-up discussion. This is the second seminar of our “Biopolis Dresden Imaging Platform (BioDIP) seminar series” focused on microscopy-driven research with talks given by:
Proteins and their interactions are of central importance in biology, e.g. in every signalling cascade. Fluorescence (Cross-)Correlation Spectroscopy (F(C)CS) offers the possibility to investigate proteins and their interactions live, both in vitro and in vivo. To achieve that, F(C)CS analyzes the movement of fluorescent particles into and out of a focal volume at a confocal microscope and can deduce several parameters from this analysis. (1) FCS measures the mobility and concentration of a fluorescently tagged molecule of interest and thereby provides information about protein concentrations and associations. (2) FCCS uses two, fluorescently tagged molecules and yields quantitative data describing the interaction of these molecules (dissociation constant). In the BioDIP seminar we will span the range from the investigation of protein complexes in solution to measurements of protein interaction in the membrane of the living embryo. If you are curious to learn how you can use F(C)CS for probing the dynamics/interactions of your protein of interest, join us for the seminar and the discussion afterwards. |

We have the pleasure to invite you all for the demonstration of an advanced refractometer, the J457 from Rudolf Research Analytical, which might well suit the needs of the community of microscopists of the whole campus. Indeed, this machine has among all the other characteristics a measurement range of refractive index that goes from 1.26 to 1.72, it's highly accurate, temperature control (10-110°C), and can measure through solid matter too (e.g. animal tissues). Seminar: 11:15 MPI-CBG Galleria Practical Part: Available for testing for one week in MPI-CBG LMF wet lab (room 036) It is very important for us all to understand the real capabilities of the machine. And since Mr. Schmidt, who will come for the demonstration, would be available to test real samples the on 4th of March, please bring your media, specimens, and challenging tissues. In the case you would like to measure solid materials, just consider that the diameter of the sample should be less than 10 mm, and that hard samples like glass have to be polished. |
