[WTI-trainee] Reminder: Leica Stellaris FALCON confocal demo 9/22-9/30

[Shao, Lin]

Dear All,

This is reminder of the upcoming demo of the Leica Stellaris laser-scanning confocal microscope in NeuroLux from September 22 to September 30. There are still plenty of demo slots<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kEEJeueHOockncf92mOrw0e3a0dXB5C46aqqokPS4_c/edit?gid=0#gid=0> available. Please see details below.

The demo unit is a versatile confocal system featuring White Light<https://www.leica-microsystems.com/science-lab/life-science/stellaris-white-light-lasers/> Lasers and the latest hybrid detectors<https://www.leica-microsystems.com/science-lab/life-science/power-hyd-detectors/>, along with several advanced capabilities:


  *
FALCON FLIM<https://www.leica-microsystems.com/products/confocal-microscopes/p/stellaris-8-falcon/> system: capable of real-time FLIM and FLIM-FRET, a dye separation mechanism based on fluorescence lifetime. If you are familiar with the TauSense module on CCMI's Stellaris, FALCON builds on it with expanded functionality. The only other FALCON system at Yale currently is in the West Campus Imaging Core.


  *
SpectraPlex module<https://www.leica-microsystems.com/products/confocal-microscopes/p/stellaris-spectraplex/>: supports separation of up to 15 colors, offering potential for 3D spatial biology applications. No other system with SpectraPlex is available at Yale.

We encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity and sign up for a demo slot<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kEEJeueHOockncf92mOrw0e3a0dXB5C46aqqokPS4_c/edit?gid=0#gid=0>. While testing FALCON or SpectraPlex requires well-prepared samples that might not be ready in time,  bringing any sample to the demo will help evaluate the system's general performance.

This demo marks the final stage of our evaluation of cutting-edge point-scanning confocal systems, a process that we began late last year with the goal of expanding our imaging capacity and capabilities in this category of instruments. We plan to make a choice soon after this demo.

Thank you for your participation. For any technical questions, please contact Albert Ayoub (Albert.Ayoub at leica-microsystems.com) of  Leica.

Best regards,

Lin
