Olympus Bioimaging Conference: Exploring New Dimensions | 3-Day Virtual Event | March 9–11, 2022

Bioimaging is an essential tool used to image and analyze cells, tissues, and molecules in fields such as drug discovery, diagnostics, life science, and clinical research. Rapid advances in imaging technology have enabled researchers to visualize and quantify specimens in ways that were, until recently, impossible. With the advent of technologies such as super-resolution and AI-assisted imaging, researchers can now clearly observe their specimens on the nanometer scale and have access to stress-free, accurate data analysis. The objective of this virtual conference is to explore and understand recent innovations in light microscopy bioimaging technologies. Over the 3-day event, our expert speakers will discuss topics such as super-resolution microscopy, F-techniques including FRAP and FRET, and novel probes.

Whole-Brain Functional Calcium Imaging Using Light Sheet Microscopy

Experts
Ruben Portugues
Institute of Neuroscience
Technical University of Munich
Light sheet microscopy is a powerful technique to perform fast volumetric imaging. I will talk about how we use it to investigate how the brain of a small vertebrate, the larval zebrafish, works. In our laboratory at the Technical University of Munich, we are interested in how the brain processes external sensory stimuli and uses internal states and past experiences to select appropriate behavior. In order to do this, we image the activity of almost all 100,000 neurons in the brain of larval zebrafish while we present the animals with stimuli and monitor their behavior. I will also discuss the data processing steps after acquiring these large datasets.

Confocal Microscopy and Its Use for a Spaceflight Experiment

Experts
Bob McLean
Regents’ Professor
Texas State University
Spaceflight experiments represent a rare but exciting scientific opportunity. Unlike most lab experiments, in which protocols can be quickly modified, limitations on crew time and availability of supplies are notable factors. Unanticipated changes to launch and reentry schedules are also an issue. The experimental apparatus and protocols used must be able to function in a microgravity setting, while also resisting the g-forces and vibrations during launch and landing. During this presentation, Dr. McLean will go over the experimental planning and use of confocal and electron microscopy approaches and analyses during a recent spaceflight experiment that flew on Space X-21 from 12/6/20 – 1/14/21.

Deep Learning Approaches to Automated Phenotypic Profiling

Experts
Jesse Chao
Scientist
Sunnybrook Research Institute
Quantifying cellular phenotypes is the key to all cell biology studies. However, modern imaging techniques can easily generate more data than an average user can comfortably handle. In this presentation, Dr. Chao discusses two deep learning approaches, one semi-supervised and one supervised, for building image analysis pipelines. Either approach can be run on a free cloud GPU instance.

Deconvolution of 3D Image Stacks

Experts

Metabolic Imaging in Langerhans Human Islets with MPE and FLIM

Experts
Francesco Cardarelli
Associate Professor in Applied Physics
Scuola Normale Superiore of Pisa
Capturing life (mis)regulation at the nanoscale is a crucial challenge for present and future biophysics. At this scale, the main actors are the molecules. To successfully tackle molecular behavior within living matter, optical microscopy is a valuable methodological platform: by using fluorescence as the signal, spatial and temporal details of molecular processes can be investigated quantitatively. The physiopathology of beta-cell response to glucose stimulation will be used as case study of biological/biomedical interest. The metabolic traits of beta cells will be highlighted using a straightforward combination of multiphoton microscopy, fluorescence lifetime imaging, and feedback-based orbital tracking of sub-cellular nanostructures.
