Intro Seminar – Impetux SENSOCELL: Calibration-free Optical Trap
Nov 25 @ 15:00 – 16:00
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

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
