ESRIC hosted its first Super-Resolution Clinic on February 28th 2019 at Heriot-Watt University. This exclusive event enabled researchers to test their own samples on two of our state-of-the-art super-resolution systems with the help and guidance of the technical experts: The Leica STED system which allows for approximately 50 nm resolution in multicolour over 3 dimensions and the ONI Nanoimager S which can localise single molecules down to 20 nm resolution in 3 dimensions in live and fixed samples.
Overview:
Own Sample Session:
- Test your own samples on two state-of-the-art super-resolution systems
- Obtain 50 nm resolution in multicolour over 3 Dimensions with the 3X STED (Leica)
- Localise and track single proteins in 3 Dimensions with the Nanoimager S (ONI)
