Latest news and events

Achievements at UMIF: a cover image has been awarded to Sven Hey (Ag Linder)

Sven Hey (Ag Linder) has recently published “KIF16B drives MT1-MMP recycling in macrophages and promotes co-invasion of cancer cells” in “Life Science Alliance” (DOI: 10.26508/lsa.202302158). Beside that we are all warmly invited to read this very interesting work, we take much pride to inform you that one of the images associated to this manuscript has been awarded to be the cover image for the entire issue!!!

Congratulation to Sven that expressed his scientific and imaging talent using UMIF microscopes

Cover Life Science Alliance 2023

About the image: Spheroid of H1299 carcinoma cells expressing GFP (green), embedded in collagen I matrix, together with primary human macrophages; F-actin of both cell types stained by Alexa568-phalloidin (red), nuclei by DAPI (blue); maximum projection of confocal z-stack.

The cover image was acquired by using UMIF´s SP8 microscope.

Evident workshop

Dear users.
Our workshop season becomes hot:
The next appointment I would like to bring to your attention is with Evident.
Evident will promote a compact, easy to handle, powerful slide scanner imaging system that is not the classical wide field slide scanner: it can produce images with confocal resolutions also in 3D.

When: 26.09-28.09.
Where:    lecture: seminar room 14, building N27
               practical sections: seminar room 1, building N45

To get more information and for the registration link please look at the flyer below (registration is free of charge).
As always you are all warmly invited to join and let join everyone might with to participate.

Thank you very much to make this fantastic imaging community
best wishes

Lunaphore - The Spatial Biology Tour

Dear users,

I am happy and thrilled  to announce that the 12.10. we will be hosting a very interesting meeting: the spatial biology tour from Lunaphore: The aim of this meeting is to introduce the "spatial revolution" to the scientific community. This meeting will be focus on:

  1. How spatial biology is used in research areas such as immuno-oncology, neuroscience, immunology and infectious diseases;
  2. How to leverage your existing antibody libraries when performing high-parameter spatial tissue analysis;
  3. The benefits of an end-to-end spatial biology solution to interrogate your samples and extract biological insights.

You can find the registration link in the flyer below and registration for this event is free of charge.

We are all warmly invited and please extend this invitation to every one you think  might be interested.

Looking forward to see many of you registering !!!

Best wishes

Andor&Imaris Workshop

Dear light microscopy passionate users:

Our day there is a high demand within biomedical research to establish reliable simple but also high content imaging protocols. Beside imaging a bigger challenge is how to turn the huge amount of imaging data into quantitative data points as well as presenting convincing images and movies.

UMIF is happy to present Andor/IMARIS solution to this important need.

They will offer a workshop divided in 3 parts introduction/imaging and data visualization and quantification.

We are all warmly invited to attend but practical slots are limited therefore we need to register (registration free of charges  by using the link present on the attached flyer.

Please feel free to extend this invite all you think might be interested.

For detailed schedule of the workshop please see attached flyer.

If you have any questions about the workshop please do not hesitate to contact me.

Please follow this link to the Andor&Imaris Workshop event page for a brief description and details about the microscope and the software.

Best wishes
