Light sheet fluorescence microscopy (LSFM) is a novel imaging technique that allows researchers to obtain optical sections of large biological samples with virtually no phototoxicity at unprecedented speed. The Zeiss Lightsheet Z.1 system which is available at the University Research Facility in Life Sciences (ULS) will be open for online booking in October. The ULS is organising two identical workshops to demonstrate the sample preparation procedure and imaging using zebrafish larva, and to allow users to gain hands-on experience with LSFM. The details of the workshops are as follows:
• Date: 22nd September, 2017 (Friday)
• Time: 10 am to noon (session 1) and 2:30 to 4:30 pm (session 2)
• Venue: Y405, Lee Shau Kee Building (Core Y)
If you are interested in the workshop, please email Dr. Michael Yuen and provide your name, department, contact number and preferred session. You are also welcome to contact Michael if you would like to discuss whether LSFM is suitable for your research.
