Upcoming Events
Open House
Following the success of last year's Open House, the BioImaging Shared Resource will be planning another this Fall. Stay tuned for more information.
Micro-topic Sessions
Join staff from the BioImaging Shared Resource for small group topic-driven sessions on one our systems. Stay tuned for a posting of scheduled sessions.
Vendor Demonstrations
Summer 2024: The BioImaging Shared Resource is exploring new systems for the 2025 Shared Instrumentation Grant cycle. Stay tuned for demo schedules.
Workshops
Remote or in-person, these topic-driven workshops are valuable resources to stay up to date on the latest technology
Meetings & Courses
Extracurricular Courses
Each year, experts in the field of microscopy and quantitative imaging host intensive training courses in several renowned educational destinations. Selection processes are rigorus, but the opportunity is unrivaled.
Community Engagement
Mercury Free Microscopy
Fluorescence microscopy requires the use of intense illumination at specific wavelengths, traditionally in the visible spectrum. For decades, this illumination relied on mercury based lamps, which had relatively short lifespans and unreliable intensities. With the introduction of LED-based light sources, fluorescence research no longer needs to rely on these outdated, costly, and environmentally hazardous mercury sources. The BISF is seeking to remove and replace all mercury sources on campus with their LED counterparts, but it starts with knowing more about the mercury footprint at Jefferson. If your lab works with fluorescent microsopes, please fill out the survey below.
BioImaging Analysis
Light microscopy has changed the way data are collected, from the early days of modeln visualization and illustration to database mining massive data sets for trends. The inherent data within these images is extracted, measured, and comapred through quantitative image analysis. This is an aspect to modern microscopy that we at the BISR would like grow in our offerings. To help us learn about your lab's analysis methods and needs, please fill out the survey below.
Imaging Journal Club
Effective presentation of microscopy data is critical part of digital imaing. The BioImaging Shared Resource would like to explore this in an informal journal club. To learn more and be added to our email list, please fill out the survey below.
