Join us for this 30-minute seminar on Lighfield 4D, the latest innovation in high-speed volumetric imaging, followed by an interactive Q&A and a complimentary lunch, offering a valuable opportunity to network with colleagues and peers in the imaging community. This event is open to all King's students and staff interested in imaging - it is free, but registration is required.

Speaker: Simon Denham, Account Manager - ZEISS

This Imaging Bites seminar will explore the latest innovation in high-speed volumetric imaging of living organisms: Lightfield 4D. The new ZEISS LSM 910 and 990 confocal systems offer cutting edge innovation to capture instant volumes. Dynamic and sensitive samples are captured in 3D at previously impossible speeds, providing new insight and research possibilities.

Many neuronal and physiological processes occur at very high speeds, making it difficult to accurately capture their spatiotemporal dynamics. Although established technologies have become faster, the required acquisition time still increases with sample volume, so fast processes like neuronal activity or heartbeats require a trade-off between volumetric information and image frame rate.

With Lightfield 4D, you no longer have to compromise. You can capture 80 volumes per second without time delay in 3D. This makes it possible to follow neuronal activity in zebrafish brains, track tissue movement in developing drosophila embryos, and keep track of moving structures in crawling C. elegans larvae. The unique one-snap-one-volume imaging ensures that crucial events are not missed or distorted.

Moderator: Fadwa Joud, Associate Director, Innovation & Business Development, Imaging Core Facilities, RMID, King's College London

Demo: There will be a demo set-up in the Microscopy Innovation Centre (MIC) to try the new Lightfield 4D technology from July 30th to August 7th. You're welcome to bring your own sample to try during the demo session. To book a demo slot, please email mic@kcl.ac.uk with your preferred day and 1.5h time slot at either 10:00, 12:00 or 14:30.

Imaging Bites Lunch and Learn Seminar Series
This event is part of the Imaging Bites Lunch & Learn, a seminar series for King’s imaging community, designed to share knowledge, explore cutting-edge imaging topics, and foster collaborations. Featuring expert speakers from academia, core facilities, and industry, each session includes a talk, interactive discussion, and complimentary lunch.
