SPIE Optics + Photonics 2018
The main theme of this conference is focused on exploiting ultrafast and nonlinear optical techniques for imaging and spectroscopy applications. The merging of ultrafast nonlinear optics and imaging has created exciting opportunities to explore nonlinear susceptibility as contrast mechanisms for label-free imaging. For instance, second harmonic generation (SHG) imaging relies on the difference in second order nonlinear susceptibility to form an image and can be used to probe molecules or structures without inversion symmetry. The introduction of the multi-photon nonlinear…

Cryo-Electron Microscopy and 3D Image Processing
Course Overview Cryo-EM combined with image processing is currently undergoing what has been referred to as a “resolution revolution”, making it one of the most powerful techniques to address this challenge. It also has unique capabilities to obtain structural information in situ within complex environments, and to deal with heterogeneous samples. The methods are complex and under constant development, so in depth, advanced training of users is essential to ensure future users can adapt new technologies to expand into new…

The next course will be taking place on 4-7 Sept 2018. Contact us now to register. Introduction: An intensive, hands-on, four-day training course in the rapidly developing techniques of confocal microscopy. I really appreciated very much what all of you did last week. It was probably the best course I've ever been to. The course will initially cover basic confocal but then swiftly move on to the more advanced techniques such as FRAP, FRET and spectral unmixing. Over the four days, all participants will…
