==========================================================
Title: Love or Hate Microscopy?
Presenter: Judith Lacoste, Ph.D
Microscopy Specialist at McGill University Cell Imaging & Analysis Network &
MIA Cellavie Inc.
==========================================================
When: Wednesday, August 19, 2009
Duration: About 45 minutes, plus questions and answers
Pre-register (required) at:
http://www.qimaging.com/webinars/webinar_details.php?webinar_id=54
==========================================================
Details:
Microscopy is an essential technology for most life science researchers and
they usually love to present and publish beautiful microscopy data. It is also
true that despite a common feeling that microscopy is not very complicated;
many scientists actually struggle with it. While modern microscopy systems
are indeed sophisticated equipment, it is useful to first consider microscopy as
being composed of three simple elements: operator, equipment and sample.
Keeping such a vision in mind can help the process of acquiring robust data by
microscopy.
This educational live webinar will provide attendees with:
• A brief overview of light microscopy modalities and guidelines to make the
right choice (eg., transmitted light, widefield and confocal fluorescence
microscopy)
• Some easy measures to take that can simplify microscopy projects
• More advanced, but essential points to consider when performing microscopy
Who should attend:
Novice/new microscopists, researchers beginning new microscopy projects,
and anyone who is uncomfortable with microscopy will benefit from the
information presented in this webinar. Microscopy goes beyond pretty pictures
and provides strong, scientific answers when it is performed in an artifact-
free, reproducible and quantitative manner.
