Confocal microscopy is a very popular imaging technique for high-quality imaging of biological samples, especially in thicker specimens. Confocal imaging enables the capture of high-contrast images, which are especially informative when reconstructed in 3D to facilitate viewing and analysis of the complete cell, tissue, or organism. However, confocal technology is complex, with the highest performance opto-mechanical designs being part of physically large instruments with complex software functions and control, often needing specialised facilities and experts to operate them.
The new Andor Benchtop Confocal, the BC43, is a revolutionary, small footprint confocal that allows all laboratories in biomedical sciences, industry or elsewhere, access to an easy-to-use high-quality multimodal confocal imaging system to suit their imaging needs. In this webinar, we will give a technical overview of BC43 as well as show beautiful imaging to illustrate the applications of the new Andor Benchtop Confocal.
Speaker : Wilde Geraint PhD, Business and Product Manager for Life Science Microscopy, Andor
Wilde Geraint attained a Ph.D. in Neuroscience in 1997 from the University of Southampton, UK, after which he continued in neuroscience with a postdoctoral position at the University of Warwick, UK. Having developed an interest in microscopy, he moved to the University of Liverpool, UK, to work in the laboratory of Michael White, focusing on intracellular signalling and gene expression through live-cell imaging. Geraint eventually pursued a commercial career in microscopy. He joined Andor Technology in 2009, where he is now Product Manager for microscopy solutions.
