Tuesday, October 21, 2014
Reem-Kayden Center Laszlo Z. Bito '60 Auditorium
A lecture by Brooke Jude, Biology Program and Christopher LaFratta, Chemistry Program
The Nobel Prize in Chemistry for 2014 was awarded to Drs. Hell, Moerner and Betzig for their work in extending the resolution limit of optical microscopy. This lecture, aimed at the general audience, will discuss some of the basics of traditional microscopy and will give insight into how the new types of super-resolution microscopy work. Professors LaFratta and Jude will also be detailing some of the new microscopes that will be purchased for Bard as part of a new Sherman Fairchild Grant received this past spring.For more information, call 845-752-2337, or e-mail [email protected].
