Dean’s Workshop on March 12: "Yale Center for Cellular and Molecular Imaging (CCMI): Innovations in Visualization and Optical Imaging of Fixed and Living Cells and Tissues"

February 20, 2019

Confocal fluorescence microscopy is the most widely used method for advanced light microscopic imaging of biological specimens. However, several new technologies now permit fluorescence microscopic imaging that is either faster than standard (point-scanning) confocal microscopy, has better spatial resolution, or both. Rapid image collection techniques, which are ideal for examining live cells, tissues, and organisms, including swept field, multiphoton, and light-sheet microscopy will be highlighted at the workshop. Super-resolution techniques, which can result in 2- to 10-fold improvement in spatial resolution relative to standard confocal microscopy, including gated STED, single-molecule localization, and Airyscan microscopy, will also be discussed. The workshop will illustrate the use of these new imaging techniques, each of which is now available in the medical school’s Center for Cell and Molecular Imaging (CCMI).
