A new module for neuron cell network images analysis

The LS&E microscopy unit is happy to inform you that we installed a new module for neuron cell network images analysis. The module is installed on our Cytation 5 - High-Throughput Platform for Fluorescence Imaging. This module allows flexible, automated, multichannel imaging and analysis of neurite outgrowth. Statistics such as soma count, total\average neurite length, and total\average neurite branches can be calculated. This module will be installed for evaluation for 30 days. According to your use and reviews of the module we will be able to consider the performance and demand for such an application. You are more than welcome to contact us if you have any questions or want to try this new module.  . Yours, The Microscopy Team Yael & Nitsan ...

LS&E hosted the Israeli bio-analyst community for special workshop on NAPARI

On the April 10th the Israeli bio-analyst community were hosted by the LS&E microscopy unit for the first workshop in Israel on Napari. Napari is a Python library for n-dimensional image visualisation, annotation, and analysis. The workshop included 18 bio-analysts from Weizmann institute, Bar Ilan University, Hebrew University and the Technion institute. The workshop was take place at the computer farm in the Faculty of Biotechnology and Food Eng. in the upper campus of the Technion.   The Agenda: 9:20           meet @ the LS&E microscopy unit 9:30 - 10:15     Introduction to napari 10:15 - 12:30    Basic napari hands-on 12:30 - 13:30    Launch 13:30 - 16:00    Advanced napari plugins The hands-on tutorial was done on the bio-analyst computers. Thanks to DR. Yael Lupo-Haber for the great hands-on Napari worshop. It was very practical and gave a good boost into Napari community. ...

22 June – the newest ZEISS Light-Sheet 7 would be installed at the LS&E this year.

The LS&E Microscopy Core Facility Center is pleased to announce that the newest ZEISS Light-Sheet 7 would be installed at the LS&E this year.   The new Light-Sheet 7 microscope is dedicated for multi-view imaging for Living sample and as well as for Optically Cleared Specimens. The exceptional stability of Light-Sheet 7 enables to observe living samples over extended periods of time – even days – with minimal photo-toxicity than ever before. In addition, the new light sheet microscope can image very large optically cleared specimens with subcellular resolution. Light-Sheet 7 designed to image specimens at up to 2 cm in size at any refractive index between 1.33 and 1.58, and in almost all clearing solutions. The Light-Sheet 7 have dedicated optics, sample chambers and sample holders to match accurately the desired refractive index for multiplicity clearing method with the ability to image large samples or cleared organ/tissue such as mouse brain,...
