PROGRAM

Together with our partner  Leica Microsystems ,  Pragolab  will be exhibiting at the EMBO Practical Course 15.-26. August, Brno.

Our product highlight on our stand:

Leica STELLARIS FALCON DLS STELLARIS 8 FALCON (FAst Lifetime CONtrast) is the future of functional imaging. Harness the power of fluorescence lifetime to investigate cellular physiology and explore dynamics in living cells. Learn more

Light sheet microscopy is an established imaging technology that enables the recording of large biological specimens with minimal photo-damage. It opens new avenues to study cell biological and developmental processes with unprecedented imaging speed and facilitates systems biology approaches by quantitative imaging of living systems in their entirety.  

Although light sheet technology is still developing, it has become broadly available through commercial and open-access platforms. In this interdisciplinary course, we are continuing the tradition of three such courses in 2014, 2016 and 2018 at MPI-CBG in Dresden.  

This new installment of the course at CEITEC Brno will focus on the emerging trends in the field, namely, the combination of light sheet imaging with other imaging modalities in a correlative approach and probing the physical properties of living systems imaged with the light sheet technology. Given the scientific focus of the hosting organisation, we will particularly welcome students bringing applications of light sheet microscopy to imaging plants and viral infections.
