You may have already seen the posters in the building announcing that VIB HQ is sponsoring a workshop on Optical Sectioning and 3D microscopy in conjunction with Carl Zeiss. The workshop will have an associated display of Zeiss microscopy systems including their super sensitive confocal system LSM 780, cell observer spinning disk confocal and VivaTome structured illumination microscope. In order to accommodate these systems in a space with enough power and light control we will be taking over a part of the small cafeteria next to the seminar room  for the week. To compensate for the inconvenience to building staff Zeiss will pay for anyone in the building who wishes to order a lunchtime sandwich on Thursday April 1st. If you would like to take advantage of this offer just sign up for your sandwich on the special pre-order sign up sheets at the reception anytime between Monday morning and Wednesday morning at 10AM. Sandwiches will be delivered Thursday as usual.

            I would also encourage any who are interested in high resolution microscopy to attend the workshop. If you would like to Zeiss would appreciate your pre-registration atwww.zeiss.be/micro. In addition you can test the demo systems with your own samples should you wish. 

            I hope the disruption to your routine is minimal and thank you for your understanding.

Best wishes,
