Nikon N-STORM
General
The original laser is back on the Nikon A1 after its repair. This means it now has all the original laser lines; 407 nm, 440nm, 488 nm, 514 nm, 561 nm and 637 nm. ...and it can be used for imaging DAPI again ;)
The Leica SP8 confocal is now running again after the upgrade with 405 nm laser. You can now more straightforward image, for instance, Hoechst and DAPI with standard single photon emission.
The update has led to changes in the user interface, that widefield users should be aware of.
Join us to see the cutting-edge imaging solutions offered at the Nikon Center of Excellence for Molecular Biomedical Imaging. 12th of October, 2021, from 9:30 – 14:30.
The NIS Elements software on the windows analysis workstation has been upgraded to 5.3.
New functionalities are e.g. “Clarify.ai” that is a pre-trained neural network meant for removing blur from widefield images.
PC upgrade. Addition of "LasX Navigator". Previous PC relocated.
The BMB207 Biophotonics PhD course has been postponed to June. See more information on: https://dambic.dk/index.php?page=BMB207
