We are pleased to invite you to the ALL-MICRO Open Day, organized within the framework of the ALL-MICRO project.
This event is specifically designed for companies, industry professionals, and healthcare institutions, offering a unique opportunity to discover how advanced microscopy can support innovation, quality control, and research in real-world applications.
Participants will explore the CIMA (Centre for Instrumentation and Advanced Microscopy) facilities at the University of Trieste (Units), with a focus on available technologies, services, and opportunities for collaboration. The programme includes presentations and live demonstrations of advanced imaging techniques, such as superresolution and multiphoton microscopy, Scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy (see below for more details).
The event aims to foster dialogue between academia and industry, promoting knowledge exchange and the development of new partnerships.
Programme
Morning session
09:00 – Welcome coffee
09:30 – 10:00 – Presentation of the microscopy facilities at CIMA
10:00 – 12:00 – Hands-on demonstration of microscopes (in small groups or individuals)
Afternoon session
13:00 – Welcome coffee
13:30 – 14:00 – Presentation of the microscopy facilities at CIMA
14:00 – 16:00 – Hands-on demonstration of microscopes (in small groups or individuals)
Hands-on sessions for each microscope last about 1 hour and are held in parallel.
The following instruments are presented:
Zeiss Elyra7 SIM microscope: This microscope is equipped with 4 lasers, allows for superresolution imaging (down to 100 nm) and is ideal for fluorescently labelled samples with a thickness <20 µm.
Nikon A1R-MP plus Multiphoton microscope: This microscope is equipped with a tunable IR laser (700-1080 nm) and is ideal for fluorescent samples in the blue-green-near red (TRITC) iwith thicknesses of >250 micrometers up to 2 mm.
Zeiss Gemini 300 SEM/CLEM microscope: this scanning electron microscope is used for the morphological and chemical analysis of conductive samples, it is equipped with a field emission electron source and guarantees fast and precise analyses, it can be used for the correlative light electron microscopy together with the Zeiss Elyra 7 microscope.
Quanta 250 FEI SEM microscope: this scanning electron microscope is used for the morphological and chemical analysis of samples, can be used on conductive, non-conductive and humid sample as it can work in high vacuum and environmental conditions.
EM208 TEM microscope: it is a transmission electron microscope fed at 100 kV that is used mainly for biological samples and nanomaterials that can be damaged at higher voltages. Its magnification power reaches up to 200000 times.
CM200 TEM microscope: it is a transmission electron microscope fed at 200 kV, ideal for nanomaterials. Its magnification power reaches up to 1 million times with a resolution power of 0.2 nm.
