Dear friends and colleagues,

Based on the success of the New England FLIM-FRET workshop, Harvard CNS and Axiom Optics decided to organize
the 1st New Approaches in Light Microscopy Workshop which will take place at the Harvard Center for Nanoscale Sciences located on Oxford St, Cambridge, MA on Nov 17-19, 2015.

This workshop will offer 1 day of lectures ( Nov 17) and 2 days of hands-on sessions ( Nov 18-19) at Harvard CNS.

The following techniques will be explored  :

- Adaptive optics for microscopy
Adaptive optics is a new technique used to increase SNR, imaging depth and resolutions of light microscopy techniques by correcting optical aberrations.
It is currently used on super-resolution, spinning disk confocal and non linear microscopy techniques.

- Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging microscopy ( FLIM)
Fluorescence-lifetime imaging microscopy or FLIM is an imaging technique producing an image based on the differences in the exponential decay rate of the fluorescence <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorescence> from a fluorescent sample. FLIM is commonly used to measure FRET efficiency, protein- protein interactions, oxygenation and more.

- Spatial Light Interference Imaging microscopy (SLIM)
Spatial light interference microscopy (SLIM) is a new label-free technique, capable of measuring nanoscale structures and dynamics in live cells via interferometry.
Using SLIM, cell volume, height and dry mass or example can be measured in-vitro for long periods of time.

- Micro-spectroscopy
Micro spectroscopy is a technique combining the power of microscopy and spectroscopy.  Using a spectrograph attached with a microscope,  the spectra of electromagnetic energy reflected, transmitted or absorbed by a microscopic sample can be measured with a resolution better than 0.1 nm.

Commercial microscopy set-ups from Imagine Optic, Lambert Instruments, PhiOptics and Princeton Instruments will be available for hands-on sessions on Nov18-19.

A detailed program will be provided soon with information on how to register, registration fees and more.

If you are interested in being contacted at a later date with a detailed program, you can send an email now at [hidden email] <mailto:[hidden email]> with the subject : "info about NALM Workshop at Harvard 2015".

We hope to see you at this event,

Kind regards,
