30th iCeMS Seminar/Nikon Imaging-Techno Lab Fluorescence Imaging Seminar Series 1/Commemorating the Establishment of the CeMI 8: Prof. Takeharu Nagai and Mr. Yoshiro Oikawa

CeMICenter for Meso-Bio Single-Molecule Imaging

Live-Cell Imaging

Fluorescence imaging enables researchers to actually "see" the molecular events occurring in living cells. Recent three technological developments further strengthened such an advantage of fluorescence imaging. Namely, developments of (1) new fluorescent proteins, (2) photo-activatable probes and the microscope that can perform photo-activation during imaging, and (3) high-speed image acquisition by the confocal microscope. In this seminar, these topics will be comprehensively covered by leading researchers who have been involved in such developments.
All are welcome to join this seminar (free of charge, no reservation required). For more details, please see the second page of the seminar flyer below.

Along with this seminar, NIT Hands-on Training Sessions are scheduled for September 28 and 29 in room 209 of iCeMS Complex 2.
For more details, please see the separate flyer below (an application form is included).
