Intro Seminar – Impetux SENSOCELL: Calibration-free Optical Trap

When:
November 25, 2024 @ 15:00 – 16:00
2024-11-25T15:00:00+01:00

The Imaging and Optics Facility is expanding its equipment park with the addition of an Impetux SENSOCELL Optical Trap system.

The Impetux Sensocell makes use of a unique technology that enables mechanical measurements to be conducted without the need for calibration steps allowing for force probing assays under in-vivo conditions. The system will be integrated with a new Crest Optics X-Light V3 high-speed Spinning Disk microscope.

There will be two different events as to introduce the system:

1) Nov 25, 2024:  Introduction Seminar about the general aspects of the Optical tweezers Technology – open to all, mandatory for selected trainees

2) Dec 19, 2024: Hybrid demonstration, showcasing real applications on the new setup (after its installation) – open to all, but also part of the training of the selected trainees

 


Nov. 25th, 15:00 – 16:00 OPTICAL TWEEZERS SEMINAR 1/2. Introduction to the technology

  • Working principle of Optical Trapping
  • Typical applications
  • How to plan OT experiments
