| Sixth Annual CRS Workshop at Harvard | ||
Thanks to everyone who helped make the Sixth Annual CRS Workshop
Forty-six trainees from eleven different countries participated in the 2009 CRS Workshop. Stimulated Raman Scattering microscopy was successfully demonstrated for the first time on five microscope systems, and compared with a CARS contrast mechanism. Demonstration experiments included tracking lipid uptake of omega-3 fatty acid in cells, monitoring transdermal drug delivery into skin using SRS microscopy, visualizing lignin and cellulose distributions in plants with SRS imaging, and imaging brain tissue at video rate. |
2009 CRS Workshop Some participants' comments about this year's workshop... "Talks on development and instrumentation were very insightful and helpful." "Lab sections were great, very informative. Hands-on instruction was a great opportunity." "The talks were very interesting and we discovered new potential applications by discussing with other participants."
