Dear colleagues, 

We are pleased to bring to your attention that the call for the Czech-BioImaging Open Access support for the period of July 2023 – June 2024 has been opened. Deadline for submitting applications is 15th April 2023.

This grant call promotes open access to the core facilities participating in the Czech-BioImaging research, including the IMCF here at BIOCEV. Don’t miss an opportunity to apply for financial support for your microscopy-based research projects – especially projects that require development and application of advanced imaging methods!

Dear colleagues,

We would like to invite you to the demonstration of the Nikon microscopic system which will be installed at our core facility at BIOCEV. It is Nikon Eclipse Ti 2 X-Light V3 inverted research spinning disk microscope with DeepSIM super-resolution module. 

The demonstration will take place on 30th November and 1st December. We will start with a theoretical lecture on Wednesday and the practical demonstrations will follow. You are kindly invited to test the system with your own samples.

The registration deadline for practical demonstrations is 25th November.

Please, find more information in the attached flyer here.

Best regards,

Your IMCF team
