The Rothamsted Cool Snaps Cryo Course will be held the week of 22nd to 26th March. The course will run for the full week with the majority of the equipment and space in Bioimaging used for demonstration and training of techniques. For this reason, Bioimaging will be closed for the week. Please contact Bioimaging staff if you would like further information.

February 2010

The first Bioimaging & Microscopy Workshop was held on 17th February. If you are interested in attending a similar course in the future please contact Human Resources to be put on the waiting list. We will re-run the course in the near future if there is sufficient interest.

The three dimensional segmentation software Amira has been upgraded to Version 5.0. It is now able to routinely take very large data sets including serial sections, electron and microCT tomograms.

January 2010

Happy New Year everyone! We hope that you had a good break.

As of this month we will be using our online web booking system to book the instruments in Bioimaging. Hopefully you will have had a chance to test the system in the last couple of months. You can access the system from any PC on site and it should work with your login for your name. If you do not have access to instruments you usually use on the web booking system please contact us and we will fix the problem. There will also be a dedicated PC in Bioimaging for people to make or change bookings while down using the instruments. Please feel free to come and have a walk throught of the booking system with a member of staff if required.

November 2009

Online web booking form is active. Please try the web booking form to familiarise yourself with the system.  The booking sheets in Bioimaging will still be active for November and December and will be the main system for booking for these last two months of 2009. From January 2010 onwards the booking sheets in Bioimaging will be phased out and bookings will only be possible through the web booking system or by contacting Bioimaging staff.
