Hello all,
First the good news:
In addition to state-of-the-art "3D workstations" from API,
Perkinelmer etc, students at the 2006 UBC Live-cell course can expect
to use several other really new 3D microscope systems:
1. Olympus will bring their new Fluoview 1000 with the SIM-scan
bleaching system and also their disk scanner

2.Andor are planning to bring their new, Yokogawa-based Revolution
system. http://www.andor-tech.com/products/confocal/
3. Zeiss will bring the LIVE with Duoscan (5-LIVE plus 405nm
simultaneous photo-bleach, photo-activation) system.

4. Nikon will bring the C1si confocal, with spectral detection.

5. III will bring the Mariana SDC, Yokogawa -based system as well as
the SAC computer-controlled spherical aberration corrector and their
new FLIM system for fluorescence lifetime analysis.
and
6. Leica will bring the dual-speed, Leica TCS SP5, "The Only
Broadband Confocal"
There will probably be more but this is for sure.
Remember, each group has 14 separate 2-hour lab sessions on these instruments.
Now, some more good news:
Several of the students who were originally accepted to attend the
UBC Live-Cell Course have now found that they will not be able to
attend after all.
This means that we now have room for about 4 more students.
If you are interested, please go to: (www.3dcourse.ubc.ca) and look
around. The application form can be found at
(www.3dcourse.ubc.ca/application.htm).
Cheers,
Jim Pawley
