SUMMARY:Advanced Scripting and Batching of Tomographic Datasets Training Course
DESCRIPTION:Although X-ray tomography is an attractive characterisation technique in materials science\, it generates a huge amount of data at a fast rate and it can be extremely time consuming to process the data manually. A great benefit to creating scripts and plugins in Avizo is the ability to reuse a workflow on more than one image or to develop a bespoke workflow for more complex materials. \nThe training is organised in two parts: Python scripting in Avizo (1 day) and development of Avizo Python module (1 day).  At the end of the second day\, the users are invited to practise on their own dataset with the help of the trainers. \nThis course is aimed at advanced users with prior expertise in 3D imaging and image processing of 3D datasets. Prior experience with Avizo and/or Python is recommended. \n  \n\nSecure your place here\n\n  \nPlace are allocated on a first come first serve basis. If there is low attendance\, a course may be cancelled with a month’s notice. \nCost: £400 + VAT for academics\, students\, postdocs & government\, £800 + VAT for Industry attendees.

To join in person\, please arrive in the R113 Franklin foyer at least 5 minutes before the start of the seminar and a member of the team will let you into the building. \n\nRSVP here\n\nTitle: \nDevelopment of a novel setup for cryo super-resolution fluorescence microscopy in the context of cryo-ET \nAbstract: \nSuper-resolution methods present a true fame changer for the field of correlative light and electron microscopy (CLEM). They allow bridging the big resolution gap between conventional fluorescence microscopy (FM) and electron microscopy (EM). However\, super-resolution FM under cryo-conditions for correlation with cryo electron tomography (cryo-ET) is still at an early and experimental stage. To achieve the aim of using cryo-FM to localise and identify individual proteins in cryo-ET\, the development of cryo-ET-compatible super-resolution cryo-FM is essential. \nIn my talk\, I will focus on how cryo single molecule photo-physics determines super-resolution cryo-FM\, and why novel concepts regarding the design of super-resolution cryo-FM setups play an important role\, not only for imaging\, but also to gain a better understanding of the altered photo-physics under cryo-conditions. \n\nBook your place here\n\nBiography: \nRainer Kaufmann gained his PhD in Physics from the University of Heidelberg developing single molecule based super-resolution fluorescence microscopy. Afterwards he spent 6 years as a postdoc at the University of Oxford\, with a focus on combining super-resolution fluorescence microscopy with electron microscopy. He is one of the pioneers in the field of cryo super-resolution fluorescence microscopy. \nSince 2017\, he is a PI at the Centre for Structural Systems Biology (CSSB) in Hamburg and the Department of Physics at the University of Hamburg.

SUMMARY:RAL Lecture: 70 Years of Particle Accelerators on the Harwell Campus
DESCRIPTION:Come along to R22 Pickavance Lecture Theatre or join online to hear from Alan Letchford\, STFC RAL (ISIS)\, on the subject of particle accelerators. \nThe design and operation of particle accelerators has been an important part of the work carried out on the Harwell site since its earliest days in the 1940s. Since those early days\, the technology has matured so that globally today\, there are approximately 30\,000 particle accelerators ranging from small machines used for industrial and medical applications\, through to massive machines covering many square kilometres used in fundamental research. \nThis talk will give a brief introduction to what particle accelerators are and how they work before telling the story of the Proton Linear Accelerator project of the 1950s and how it has a surprising connection to the cutting-edge research carried out at Harwell today. \nIf you are interested in attending either online or in person\, please get in touch below to express your interest. \n\nGet in touch here to attend

SUMMARY:In situ experiments and Digital Volume Correlation Training Course
DESCRIPTION:Digital Volume Correlation (DVC) is a powerful experimental technique that computes 3D full-field displacement and strain maps from volumes images acquired during a deformation process of a material. DVC is the 3D extension of Digital Image Correlation (DIC) which was first described four decades ago. \nThe emergence of DVC started early 2000s with the use of X-ray CT combined with in situ rigs to capture 3D morphological changes with time. Although the DVC algorithms are in spirit similar to DIC algorithms\, DVC requires special attention and expertise from multiple fields (3D imaging\, in situ testing\, CT reconstruction\, mechanics of materials\, etc.) as the texture is not controlled (natural contrast brought by imaging) and the noise/CT artefacts are often dominating the accuracy/precision of the measurements. Adding the 4th dimension (3D + time) also means that data processing and visualization are key to extract the mechanical information hidden inside the 4D datasets. \nThe training is organised in two parts: theory (0.5 day) and computer-based practical works (1.5 day) using the XDigitalVolumeCorrelation extension in the Thermo Scientific Amira-Avizo Software 3D where two solutions are implemented (a classic subset based approach and a more robust global approach). \nAt the end of the second day\, the users are invited to practise on their own dataset with the help of the trainers. \n\nRegister here\n\n  \nWho should attend? Researchers working in the field of mechanics\, physics\, and materials science using 3D imaging techniques such as X-ray computed tomography who are interested to (i) compute 3D full-field displacements and strains for linking the microstructure to the mechanical/physical behaviour\, (ii) use the DVC measured data to feed/validate finite element models. The attendees are requested to bring their own laptop to practise on the XDigitalVolumeCorrelation extension (free trial licence will be provided).
