TITLE:
High-throughput Image Processing and Cell Lineage Analysis Pipeline
for Multi-view Light Sheet Microscopy
SPEAKER:
Fernando Amat
Janelia Farm Campus

DATE: Monday, November 12, 2012
TIME: 4:00 p.m.
LOCATION: Lecture Room (Room 229)
Krasnow Institute Building
George Mason University, Fairfax, VA
ABSTRACT:
Light sheet microscopy (LSM) is an essential tool for quantitative
imaging of cellular dynamics in the embryonic development of complex
organisms such as Drosophila and zebrafish. Multiple images from
different viewpoints over long periods of time are recorded to
obtain optimal coverage of the specimen in space and time,
generating terabytes of three-dimensional (3D) image stacks. These
time-lapse recordings contain all the necessary information to
reconstruct complete cell lineages during long periods of time (over
24 hours) over the entire developing embryo. However, there are many
technical challenges to achieve this goal. In this talk I will
present an introduction to LSM and an overview of the SiMView
technology developed in Keller Lab at Janelia Farm Research Campus.
The framework is a comprehensive high-throughput pipeline to
efficiently acquire, process and analyze LSM recordings of
developing organisms.
