Speakers: Ilya Belevich (University of Helsinki, PhD), Wei Xiang Chew (Riken Quantitative Biology Center) and Egor Zindy (University of Manchester, PhD).

Abstract

• Segmentation and visualization of multi-dimensional (2D-4D) light and electron microscopy datasets.
• Dynamical parameters of growing microtubule during mitosis: growth angle (relative to spindle axis), growth speed, growth duration and growth length.
• First steps towards using Imaris for quantitative brainbow image analysis.
