Superresolution in Depth The Bruker Vutara VXL, a single-molecule localization microscope, transcends the optical resolution limit of traditional fluorescence microscopy, achieving resolutions of 20 nm and beyond, providing ad ditional fine-scale information about the structure, function, movement, and interaction of cellular components. Its unique bi-plane technology enables precise 3D imaging and tracking within biological samples, from cell cultures to tissue sections, without TIRF. Because every image col lected by the VXL is innately in 3D, The Vutara VXL is uniquely capable as a platform for 3D Single Particle Tracking and can track multiple particles with different labeled colors simultaneously, enabling new discover ies and more accurate representation of the true motion of particles. This system is also particularly adept at collecting 3D z-stacks in thick samples, providing unparalleled insights into cellular structures, molecu lar machines, and chromosomal configurations. This presentation will highlight the capabilities of the Bruker Vutara VXL in pushing the boundaries of cell biology research. Attendees will learn how this compact bench-top system can revolutionize their studies by providing high-resolution, multi-dimensional imaging of live samples. Join us to explore the future of super-resolution microscopy and its applications in unraveling the complexities of cellular biology and biophysics.

Career Development Center Workshop Industry Resumes and Applications: How to Get to the Interview Stage 10:30 am - 11:30 am, Esplanade, Room 151

Career Development Center Workshop Navigating an International Job Search 9:00 am - 10:00 am, Esplanade, Room 151

In this seminar, you will learn how to prepare resumes and cover letters that will get you noticed during your search for research jobs in industry. You will learn how to find information on companies and how to reach out to industry scientists who can connect you with job opportunities and push your resume along through the selection process. After this workshop, you will understand how to execute three techniques that comprise a comprehensive job search.

This workshop will delve into the details of how to plan an international job search, including what to do and when, no matter where in the world you are located or want to go.
