Dear All,

Please find below details of the Photonics Seminar that will take place 
on Tuesday 4^th June in Blackett 630 from 1pm.

*Computational and Optical Approaches to Multidimensional Live Cell Imaging*

Kevin W Eliceiri, University of Wisconsin

Light microscopy is providing key insights into cellular dynamics of 
normal and disease processes, a task being greatly facilitated by 
technical developments in optical probes and instrumentation. 
Fluorescent protein reporters allow virtually any protein to be labelled 
and thereby visualized in a cell, tissue or organism. Along with these 
developments in fluorescence probe technology, new optical techniques 
such as Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET), Multiphoton 
Laser-Scanning Microscopy (MPLSM), Second Harmonic Generation (SHG) 
imaging, Selective Plane Illumination Microscopy (SPIM) and Fluorescence 
Lifetime Imaging (FLIM), are revealing how individual cellular 
components are assembled into cytoplasmic machinery, and how this 
machinery functions. Our central aim is to develop hardware and software 
strategies for extracting all the data possible from the weak 
fluorescence signals that are typically obtained when observing living 
specimens. This involves the development and application of hardware and 
software for acquisition, analysis and visualization including feature 
extraction, exponential curve fitting, spectral unmixing and 3D 
visualization approaches. Much of this work is under the umbrella of our 
ImageJ2 software development to offer practical tools for developers and 
end user alike for the analysis of microscopy image data.

Kind regards,

Marcia
