Leica Microsystems and BioTechniques have organized a free web-
seminar in May that may be of interest to you:
Confocal and two-photon microscopy methods for imaging the brain
Date: 22nd May 2013
Time: 1:00pm EST
Duration: 60 minutes

A deeper understanding of brain function requires visualization of
the complex architecture of neurons and their connections. With
the ability to peer deeper into samples than conventional light
microscopy approaches, confocal and two-photon microscopy are
proving to be indispensable tools for such brain mapping studies.
In this special webinar, two researchers working at the
cutting-edge of brain imaging will discuss their applications of
the latest confocal and two-photon microscopy techniques.
From fluorescent labeling and imaging of neural circuits using
the Brainbow system to in vivo imaging of brain structure,
function, and blood flow, this webinar will give researchers a
deeper appreciation of the potential for new microscopy methods
to unlock the secrets of the cellular world. Unique insights into
sample handling and processing of multicolor images will also be
presented, and attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions.
