NSIV's New Equipment
Nikon Eclipse - Ti Microscope:
With a Yokogawa CSU-X1 Spinning Disc Confocal system
A spinning disk confocal microscope (SDCM) represents an alternative to LSCM. Rather than a single pinhole, a SDCM has hundreds of pinholes arranged in spirals on an opaque disk that rotates at high speeds. When spun, the pinholes can scan across the sample in rows, building up an image. Using a spinning disk vastly improves the speed of image acquisition (allowing for imaging of fast dynamic processes and live specimens), and considerably reduces photo damage.

NSIV Events
Over twenty members enjoyed ice cream sundaes trying to cool down from the blistering heat. Every member introduced themselves and gave a brief synopsis of their company's science! Tacos are next on the menu!

What's Going On?
Gloucester Marine Genomics Institute trains young adults for professional careers in the life sciences through hands-on training and paid internships.
A group of 15 students had recently completed seven months of hands-on lab work, three months of a paid internship at prestigious laboratories, and many (12 of the 15) had already confirmed employment after graduation. MLSC President and CEO Kenn Turner serve as commencement speaker for this year's graduating class. Grateful for the continued partnership with GMGI that is changing the trajectory for residents of our Commonwealth.
