Imaging facility of IEB AS CR

News

Note the Date – 18.-19. October 2023 – Multi-modal light imaging in plant research – annual workshop organized by IFIEB is approaching. After successful last year WS we are looking forward to the next one.

The new image analysis software Arivis has been installed on the shared HP workstation in room 011.  Enjoy!

No doubt plants are photogenic. Show it in the Picture of the Month/Year competition!

  1. Our facility joins Picture of the Month event organized for users of all microscopy facilities within the umbrella of Prague Euro-BioImaging Node (https://www.czech-bioimaging.cz/euro-bi/). Your chance is to win the cash prize, kindly sponsored by Nikon. Detailed information here http://imcf.natur.cuni.cz/IMCF/picture-of-the-month/. Next deadline is August the 13th. Submit by e-mail to  picture-of-the-month-usergroup@natur.cuni.cz 
    Should you have some interesting microscopy images or movies (and a number of you surely have!), please don´t hesitate to share them and join the competition!

Czech‐BioImaging Annual Scientific Conference

  1. The annual Czech-BioImaging conference Imaging Principles of Life will take place on October 3 - 4, 2023 in Hradec Králové. https://www.czech-bioimaging.cz/conference

Photons, Electrons, & Sausages – new tradition of Prague Node facility users BBQ. We start on 29.6.2023 in Krč Campus.

It was simply great! EMBO practical course – Super-resolution in light microscopy, Institute of Molecular Genetics, Prague 18-23 June 2023.

The Czech Minister of Science, Helena Langšádlová, and the President of the Czech Academy of Sciences, Prof. Eva Zažímalová, visited IFIEB. 

IFIEB invites you to the DEMO workshop of STEDYCON microscope from Abberior Instruments Company. After the DEMO, the system will be available in our facility till the end of 2022.

Program

New call for the Czech-BioImaging Open Access support for the year 2023 has been opened. If you prepare innovative/challenging microscopic project in our facility, we are happy to help you with writing the proposal! The deadline for applications is October 10th, 2022. Successful projects should be performed in 2023.

Euro-BioImaging newsletter informs about our Zeiss LSM880 vertical-stage microscope, a unique technology for in-vivo plant imaging. Read here or on Twitter @IEB_Imaging.

About

Imaging facility of IEB CAS (http://www.ueb.cas.cz/if) has been officially classified as independent unit within the organization structure of IEB CAS at the end of 2015. However, its existence has started already in 2006 within the framework of research centre of MEYS REMOROST, project LC 06034 by the installation of confocal laser scanning microscope Zeiss LSM 5 Duo. Using this microscope, in 2006-2010 there have been published numerous original contributions. In 2009, the facility was equipped with automated station for in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry on whole mounts and sections (OPPC project CZ.2.16/3.1.00/21159; 2009), which allowed improvement of immunofluorescence methods. The attention was paid as well to non-invasive in vivo fluorescence microscopy, which was extended by the installation of spinning disk confocal microscope Nikon Eclipse Ti-E with Yokogawa CSU-X1 (investment of CAS; 2012). This microscope opened new possibilities in the imaging and quantifying cellular events in higher spatio-temporal resolution. This trend has been extended in 2015, when new inverted Zeiss LSM 880 with sensitive spectral detection has been installed (OPPC project CZ.2.16/3.1.00/21519; 2015). The spatial resolution limit of this microscope was further improved by the installation of Airyscan detector (OPRDE project CZ.02.1.01/0.0/0.0/16_013/0001775; 2018). Recent highlight of the facility is a new LSM880 with Airyscan in horizontal setup, designed for plant biology needs (OPRDE CZ.02.1.01/0.0/0.0/16_013/0001775; 2018). Together with the upright microscope with structured illumination, Zeiss Apotome 2 (investment of IEB ASCR; 2015), the imaging facility is now optimized namely for demanding observations on living plant material, e.g. studies of dynamics of cytoskeleton, integral and peripheral plasma membrane proteins, plasma membrane associated-tethering complexes and lipids.
