The 9th KEPLR Seminar Series Held
The 9th KEPLR Seminar Series was hosted by the Sato Group at the Institute of Transformative Bio-Molecules (ITbM), Nagoya University. 6th Floor Live Imaging Center General Laboratory Mix Office The second part of the event included research presentations by the Sato Group and discussions among the participants.
The first part of the event included a facility tour.
The ITbM Imaging Center has the largest number of users among the dozen or so centers nationwide. During the introduction to the Live Imaging Center, there were demonstrations with dedicated presenters for fluorescence lifetime imaging, confocal microscopes with micro-robot tools, and optical tweezers.
In the Plant Culture Room, Torenia, Utricularia, Schistostega, and Physcomitrella were exhibited.
