Lamp? LED? Laser? Which Light Source is Best for your Microscopy Application?

Webinar: Join Dr. Claire Brown on 28th June 2011, 10am EST

Jun. 16, 2011
Claire Brown is an assistant professor at McGill University, USA and the director of the McGill Life Sciences Complex Imaging Facility where she has worked for the last 5 years. She oversees the operation and use of 13 state-of-the art microscopy platforms where approximately 150 users from 60 laboratories across Montreal conduct their microscopy based research. She has expertise in many areas including live cell imaging, total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy, fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) and multi-photon microscopy. In her research, Claire has also been involved in the development and application of correlation microscopy for the measurements of protein concentrations, protein dynamics and protein-protein interactions from fluorescence microscopy images. She has also developed and run more than 30 workshops and courses, in collaboration with corporations in the field of light microscopy, including the inaugural Montreal Light Microscopy Course in 2010.

The webinar "Lamp? LED? Laser? Which light source is best for your microscopy application?" will be presented by Dr. Claire Brown on June 28, 2011 at 10 am - 11 am EST and is sponsored by X-Cite by Lumen Dynamics.

The field of fluorescence microscopy is constantly evolving and the technology is changing at a rapid pace. This is certainly the case for light sources for fluorescence microscopy. New technologies open up new possibilities; however, existing lamp technologies still have their place for certain applications.


Webinar Topics
This webinar will present an overview of the fluorescence microscope, different approaches for multi-colour imaging, different types of light sources and which applications they are best suited for. Mercury, xenon and metal halide lamps, LED light sources and lasers will be covered.
