Less than two weeks to register for COMULIS-globe conference in Stellenbosch, January 2025! Do not miss the opportunity to learn from international experts on the value of multimodal imaging and CLEM and how to achieve this!

Read more about our @cziscience funded project - to democratise advanced correlative light and electron microscopy workflows - so that they can be used in light microscopy facilities and in lower resource settings... 🔬🇬🇧🇿🇦 🌍 #VPCLEMKIT @TheCrick crick.ac.uk/news/2024-10-2…

#VPCLEMKIT Step 4/4 The first #VPCLEMKIT has been used for research into Parkinson's with @evansrjames @LabGandhi and transplant rejection with @CandiceRoufosse The kit is now with Ben Loos and the team in Stellenbosch for testing and roll out to research @TheCrick @cziscience

#VPCLEMKIT Step 1/4 easyIRF removes the high pressure freezer and toxic chemicals from the IRF protocol, so it can be performed in an LM facility. Developed by @DLumkwana, with Chris Peddie, @mcdomart, Azumi Yoshimura and Alana Burrell @EM_STP @TheCrick @cziscience

One more thing to know about the #VPCLEMKIT. As well as providing new capability in high precision vCLEM, we made our job extra hard by designing it to be usable in a light microscopy facility without the need for an expert electron microscopist… @EM_STP @TheCrick @cziscience

So, what is the #VPCLEMKIT The kit combines a new protocol for in resin fluorescence, a new light microscope and a user-friendly electron microscope for array tomography. In the coming weeks we will intro the team and the pipeline. Watch this space! @EM_STP @TheCrick @cziscience

The very first #VPCLEMKIT is on the move! Make sure to follow along here @EM_STP @TheCrick @cziscience as it begins its journey! Huge thanks to the team and @cziscience for making this possible! 🚀🔬

In 2021 @cziscience funded us to build a modular low-cost user-friendly pipeline for high precision volume correlative light and electron microscopy. Today the very first #VPCLEMKIT left the building! Follow its journey here! ✈️🔬 @EM_STP @TheCrick @cziscience
