Optimisation and automation of microscopy workflows for near-real-time data assessment and visualisation

Join us on June 22nd for the ACCS Q&A session about optimisation and automation of microscopy workflows.

Learn how to optimise microscopy workflows in your institution.

About

Over the last few years, technological progress and optimisation of workflows at the Cryogenic Electron Microscopy at the University of Wollongong have enabled instrument scientists and researchers to assess the quality of cryoEM datasets in minutes rather than days. Much of this near-real-time data revolution has been made possible by automating and optimising a range of tasks involved in the early steps of data capture from microscopes.

In this presentation, Joshua Silver will explain how existing workflows were reassessed in order to enable the near-real-time assessment and visualisation of cryoEM data. In particular, he will highlight the challenges that needed to be overcome. Finally, Josh will show how the lessons learnt in optimising and automating cryoEM workflows can be applied to other instruments and workflows from data capture through to transfer, processing and visualisation.

This work was undertaken as part of the Australian Characterisation Commons at Scale (ACCS) project, under Work Package 4: “Big-data electron and correlative microscopy from instrument to publication”.

Note: This event will consist of a 15–20 min presentation by Josh followed by a 40 min discussion/Q&A.
