[lm-announce] Introducing our new OMX Scientific Officer

[Sam Swift]

Dear All,

We are delighted to welcome Markus Posch to the post of Scientific  
Officer for OMX and to announce a significant upgrade to the  
microscope (please see below for more details).   For those of you  
who are interested in super resolution light microscopy or super fast  
live cell imaging, please do come and speak to Markus to discuss your  
experiment.  He is based in the Light Microscopy Office (1.05F) and  
the OMX room (1.05D) in the central microscope facility or you can  
email to omx-admin at dundee.ac.uk

Cheers!

OMX NEWS:

We are happy to announce that the SULSA superresolution microscope is  
now available again for use!
Dr Markus Posch has been appointed as the new OMX Scientific  
Officer.  Markus has several years of imaging experience in Jason  
Swedlow's lab, has used OMX extensively, and has just finished  
training with Applied Precision, the manufacturer of OMX.

The OMX superresolution microscope has recently been upgraded with  
new hardware and electronics. Most importantly,  new software has  
been installed, making OMX superresolution microscopy more user  
friendly and stable.

The OMX microscope allows exploration of  spatial and temporal  
elements of biological processes using high resolution fluorescence  
microscopy. Two main imaging protocols are available on OMX:
i) ultrahigh resolution of fixed samples by Structured Illumination
ii) very fast, multi-spectral, live-cell 3D imaging

To find out more about the Scottish Universities Life Sciences  
Alliance (SULSA) OMX microscope please visit the OMX webpage     
http://microscopy.lifesci.dundee.ac.uk/omx/  or send email to omx- 
admin at dundee.ac.uk

Finally, we want to thank you for your patience. With the upgraded  
system and new software in place, we are looking forward to more  
great images!!!
