Dragonfly Multi-Point Confocal: An Enabling Technology

Informational seminar: November 20, 2019. Noon - 1 pm, AS8.2072. Lunch will be served. 

Seminar abstract:

The Dragonfly Multi-point Confocal provides high-speed confocal imaging. The speed is a function of applying simultaneous multi-point confocal pinholes across the sample, and simultaneously collecting the emitted light on an array (a CCD or sCMOS camera). The speed and sensitivity of the Dragonfly enable challenging techniques such as Genomics Imaging, Localization Microscopy techniques such as DNA Paint and Super Resolution Radial Fluctuations (SRRF), and Live Cell imaging. We will review some of these applications in this seminar.
