Demonstration: Femtonics FEMTO Atlas 3D using multi-photon microscopy Demonstration: Femtonics FEMTO Atlas 3D using multi-photon microscopy
December 1, 2025
The Imaging & Optics Facility is hosting a demonstration of the the FEMTO3D Atlas – in the 1st week of December.
This system is exceptional due to its speed and possibility to make multi-location scans in a single field of view, as well as making 3D line-scans on axons for instance to image Ca2+ and Voltage imaging. The FEMTO3D Atlas can be used for opto-mechanical stimulation, and be expanded with multiple accessories for e.g. VR-based visual stimulation of fixed animals. In addition, the system is GRIN-lens compatible.Femtonics will bring their Plug-n-Play system, that is on a roadshow from VBCF (Vienna) ISTA Graz, where the PnP tours, comes with full on-site assistance. Femtonics can bring Fruit fly (drosophila) and zebrafish larvae (< 5 days post fertilization) to explore the options for calcium imaging, but also “own” mice or Xenopus animals can be used for the test, upon announcement.

Dear all,
Welcome to ISTA and thank you for your interest to start using laser equipment. This general laser safety training is meant for NEW scientists and staff that are planning to use laser based equipment and/or need access to a laser lab. New users of microscopes of the IOF machine park have to sign up for the IOF Newcomer training, where the laser safety to use microscopes is already included. This General laser safety training is planned for every first Monday of the month, at 15:00h and normally takes about 30 minutes
Request for “General Laser Safety Training”
This training is required by austrian law and will be held in person. When you sign up via email you will receive a room number for the next training.
Best regards,
The Laser Safety Office:
