Dear Microscopists,

Invitation to “Fluorescence Imaging Seminar” by Nikon Instech co., ltd (Tokyo,
Japan)

For live-cell imaging, variety of equipments, dyes are newly introduced. Among
them, confocal microscopies recently become very popular tool not only for 3 -
D images or high quality imaging, but also for video-rate high speed imaging or
spectral imaging.

We (Nikon Instech co., ltd)  planned the seminar that introduces the benefit
of spectral imaging, some new dyes for live cell imaging and newly developed
technology for confocal microscopy in Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto, in Japan.
We encourage you to join this precious opportunity. We believe this seminar
should be useful for your research activity.
Please access our web site or send us e-mail for your participation (Please put
your name, affiliation, e-mail address, your preference of seminar place and
date)
