National Microscopy Infrastructure
The advanced light microscopy (ALM) node of NMI welcomes you to a SciLifeLab workshop together with Zeiss on dynamical microscopy. It will cover imaging modalities such as AIRY, lattice lightsheet and FCS/DP, including quality control and image analysis. There will be a combination of technical information and applications, as well as parallel demo sessions.
Time of event: March 6, 2024
Location: SciLifeLab, Tomtebodavägen 23, Solna, Sweden
Registration: hans.blom@scilifelab.se
It is time to sign up for the SEM/TEM course given by the NMI node in Umeå next semester. This course covers lectures and practical demonstrations in SEM and TEM techniques, specifically for life science applications. The contents include principles of electron microscopy, specimen preparation, cryo-electron microscopy and correlative light-electron microscopy. The course is free but requires full attendance. For electron microscopy in physical science applications, there will be a similar-content basic course later.
Time of event: February 20-22, 2024
Registration deadline: January 26, 2024
Location: UCEM & KBC, Umeå University

We would like to highlight that Euro-BioImaging has been awarded a number of important Horizon Europe and other grants to provide funding for user access at Euro-BioImaging Nodes, including NMI. These grants will support researchers to unleash the power of cutting-edge imaging technologies and gain access to other European research infrastructures to enhance scientific results.
Please visit Euro-BioImaging’s website here to find out more. There are lots of imaging opportunities available!
We invite you to participate in the KBC Days 2023 where the Umeå NMI research infrastructure will be presented. New NMI users are welcome to join and to talk to both BICU and UCEM staff. The microscopy facilities also offer facility tours.
Time of event: 7-8 November
Location: Umeå University, KBC-Building
Deadline for registration: 25th October

Our Facility in Gothenburg, Sweden, is now recruiting (permanent position) a motivated and experienced Scientific Officer with expertise in Electron Microscopy and its various applications in life sciences and more specifically in volume EM and correlative multimodal imaging.
The post-holder will work within the Centre for Cellular Imaging (CCI) national research infrastructure and in direct collaboration with the Cellular and Molecular Imaging SciLifeLab platform. The position will involve direct participation in the research projects by performing ultrastructural analysis on various biological specimens including cultured yeast, bacteria, insect, and mammalian cells as well as model organisms such as flies, nematodes, fish, and rodents. The post-holder will participate directly in the development of new 3D volume EM techniques under the guidance of the CCI Team and together with the Cellular and Molecular Imaging Scilifelab platform. Please, help us to spread this information in your networks, thank you!

Welcome to the Nordic Microscopy Symposium organised by BergmanLabora, Ramcon Denmark and Inter Instrument AS and hosted by the Live Cell Imaging core facility at Karolinska Institute (which is also a Nikon Centre of Excellence).
The purpose of the symposium is to highlight the great research being done in the Nordics where microscopy is a key tool and to showcase some new systems from Nikon (the Nikon AX confocal with NSPARC super-resolution module and Nikon/CrEST V3 spinning disk with DeepSIM structured illumination super-resolution module).
Speakers include amongst others: Zuzana Kadlecova (Cambridge Institute for Medical Research – UK), Staffan Strömblad (Karolinska Institute – Sweden), Pieta Mattila (University of Turku – Finland) and Nicoline Dorothea Daugaard (Dept. Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, SDU – Denmark).
You will be given the opportunity to have either public and/or private demonstration of these systems.
Time: Tuesday 3rd October 10:00-16:15
Location: Karolinska Institute (Flemingsberg Campus), Live Cell Imaging core facility (LCI) /Nikon Centre of Excellence
Deadline for registration: 2023-09-29
