OxTalks is Changing
On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Democratising live-cell high-speed super-resolution microscopy
The extension of PALM and STORM based methods to live-cell dynamics is limited due to their reliance on intense phototoxic illumination and long acquisition times. In this talk I will describe a new approach, Super-Resolution Radial Fluctuations (SRRF), capable of achieving super-resolution with illumination orders of magnitude lower than methods such as SMLM or STED. It also enables live-cell imaging with conventional fluorophores using modern widefield, confocal or TIRF microscopes, achieving resolutions better than 150nm at 1 frame per second. Meanwhile, in datasets suitable for SMLM analysis SRRF achieves resolutions matching standard analysis techniques (20nm). We demonstrate, using SRRF, live-cell super-resolution images of microtubule, mitochondrial dynamics, the dynamic nanoscale reorganisation of HIV-1 host receptors, as well as extensive cortical actin remodelling during the formation of the immunological T-cell synapse.
