Virtual BIOCOMM 2021 - Staying Connected
Due to the COVID-19 global pandemic BIOCOMM will become a year of virtual events. Monthly Zoom sessions of workshops, plenary presentations, Infoshare and our annual Business Meeting and Town Hall meetings will be spread throughout 2021. Virtual BIOCOMM 2021 gives us an opportunity to stay connected while continuing to learn and network.
Join us in June & July for a live Confocal Microscopy Workshop with James Hayden
Confocal is an advanced form of fluorescence microscopy which allows researchers to non-destructively focus through a cell or tissue specimen while acquiring a stack of extremely sharp images.
Join us on June 23 for Part 1: 2D Acquisition and Spectral Separation and then come back on July 21 for Part 2: 3D Acquisition and Rendering.
James Hayden, RBP, FBCA is the current BCA Vice President and has been Managing Director of the Wistar Institute Imaging Shared Resource for 19 years. He is a frequent presenter at past BCA meetings. His lab provides a wide range of imaging services using basic and advanced forms of photomicrography, including widefield, time-lapse imaging, confocal microscopy and 2-photon microscopy.
