Demo: Automated Fluorescence Microscope- Leica Thunder Imager 3D Live Cell


Description Date/Program Registration

● Description

The Advanced Optical Microscopy lab of the CCiTUB at the Clínic campus of the University of Barcelona, organizes a demonstration of the Automated Fluorescence Microscope - Leica Thunder Imager 3D Live Cell on January 25th and 26th, 2024.

Technology

Thunder Imager 3D Live Cell is designed for capturing images of cell cultures and tissues, 2D and 3D. It allows a clear view of details, even deep within an intact sample, without blurring

This advantage is achieved through a new opto-digital method created by Leica Microsystems called Computational Clearing. Thunder Imager helps maintain optimal conditions by minimizing photobleaching, providing high-performance imaging, and high-speed data capture, improving workflow efficiency and statistics.

● Dates/Program

Location: Advanced Optical Microscopy Lab – Clínic campus – Faculty of Medicine. 5th floor, south wing.
