BioDIP Spring Seminar on "Segmentation - from Pixels to Biology"

The BioDIP Lighthouse Seminar Series was established to introduce a microscopy technique, available within the BioDIP, to local scientists and encourage interaction and exchange of information within the community. The seminar typically starts with a short introduction to the technique followed by 2 or 3 application talks, which put their focus mainly on the technical aspects.

This Spring Seminar is dedicated to Segmentation of images, a technique that allows to extract quantitative information about e.g. the number/size/shape/brightness of biological objects.

The introduction  will be given by Benoit Lombardot (Scientific Computing Facility, MPI-CBG) who will be introducing you to the basics of segmentation and he will be presenting fiji as one of the important tools for image analysis. Marija Matejcic (Norden lab, MPI-CBG) will present Imaris as tool for segmenting the entire retinal tissue in the developing zebra fish eye. Gunar Fabig (Müller-Reichart lab, MTZ)  will demonstrate the use of Arivis for segmenting and quantifying meiotic spindles in C. elegans. Moreover Florian Jug (MPI-CBG) will give an outlook on future advancements of segmentation technologies.
