About this event

This seminar will introduce you to the BRC Imaging Facility's new LifeCanvas SmartSPIM light sheet microscope, which makes it remarkably easy to obtain beautiful organ-scale datasets from large cleared tissues. You will also learn how to optimally clear and mount your tissues to get the best possible data, and other practical details for light sheet imaging.

Agenda:

11:00am: Your Science in 3D: Whole-organ imaging with the BRC's SmartSPIM light sheet microscope

Chris Tsang, PhD - Sr. Field Applications Scientist, LifeCanvas Technologies

11:30am: Whole-brain mapping of behaviorally activated neurons

Dr. Thomas Cleland - Professor, Psychology, Cornell University
