Tour and Waitlist Full
The Center for Advanced Light Microscopy (CALM) is UCSF’s largest light imaging center in Mission Bay, serving hundreds of UCSF researchers and local Bay Area companies. Join us for a tour, Q&A, and live demonstrations of the UCSF-built light-sheet microscope (SNOUTY), the TruLive3D light-sheet microscope, and TIRF microscopes. Using active research from UCSF scientists, we’ll show how two types of light-sheet microscopy help to answer scientific questions by gently capturing ultrafast 3D movies of living cells, while TIRF—an advanced imaging technique that uses lasers to illuminate a thin surface layer without damaging or interfering with the rest of the cell—helps to answer questions at the cell surface.
