Visualizing the unseen; Exploring plant biology with imaging
October 7, 2024
Free Virtual Seminar
About the Event
Plant science research is essential for understanding the complexities of the natural world. From studying plant physiology and development to exploring interactions between plants and the environment or breeding new plant varieties, the understanding of plant science is continually advancing. Central to these developments is the capability to observe and analyze the structures and processes that exist within plants and their cells. This is where high-performance imaging strategies play a critical role. Join this online event to hear from three pioneers in the plant science imaging world who will showcase some of the incredible results they have obtained from technology platforms as varied as confocal microscopy, light sheet technology, super resolution imaging, X-ray tomography and electron microscopy. Learn about some of the challenges that need to be overcome in order to capture the right information from each specimen. Hear from the speakers how to generate the best possible data from challenging specimens and how to optimize your own imaging approaches.
