    Brief

    Aarhus Universitet har indgået en aftale med Triolab A/S om at levere et LMD-Thunder System til en værdi af 2.284.227 DKK. Systemet, der skal leveres til Østjylland, består af et Laser Microdissection (LMD7) system integreret med THUNDER 3D fluorescensbilleddannelse. Der blev lagt vægt på systemets evne til at levere hurtig, høj-kontrast 3D fluorescensbilleddannelse af tykke og heterogene mikrobiologiske prøver, efterfulgt af nøjagtig isolering af udvalgte celler eller celleklynger til efterfølgende kemisk billeddannelse. Systemet skal være i stand til at billedbehandle fluorescerende mærkede celler og celleklynger, præcist identificere og adskille dem fra og inden for nærliggende 3D-strukturer. Derudover skal LMD-instrumentet være et opretstående system med avancerede billeddannelsesfunktioner, der muliggør sløringsfri, klare billeder med høj kontrast, selv dybt inde i tykke prøver, og muliggøre hurtig flerfarvet billeddannelse af 2D og 3D mikrobielle prøver med forbedret signal-støj-forhold.

    Award Criteria

    • Description

      The LMD7–THUNDER platform is expected to provide rapid, high-contrast 3D fluorescence imaging of thick and heterogeneous microbiological samples, followed by accurate isolation of selected cells or cell clusters for downstream chemical imaging such as nanoSIMS or Raman microspectroscopy. In this integrated mode, Thunder enhances the visualization of microbial cells in their native structural and chemical environment, improving the accuracy and confidence in identifying cells or regions of interest before laser-assisted isolation or mapping. This 3D imaging capability of the system is critical for investigating complex microbial systems ranging from single cells and mixed microbial consortia to host-associated and environmental microbiomes. The system is the only platform fully interoperable with established spatial chemical imaging workflows enabling methodological compatibility and reproducibility. The instrument should be capable of imaging fluorescently tagged cells and cell clusters, including those containing natural autofluorescence, precisely identifying these and separating them from and within the nearby 3D structures e.g. soil and sediment particles, minerals, plant and animal tissues, electrodes, biofilms etc. Considering the correlative workflows planned and the aim of visualizing microbial cells in their native structural and physical environment it is essential that the LMD instrument is an upright system, has advanced imaging capabilities that allow blur free, clear, high-contrast images even deep within thick samples. The instrument should enable fast multi-colour imaging of 2D and 3D microbial samples (life and dead enrichment cultures, biofilms, cell aggregates, environmental microbial samples: sediment, soil, plant and animal tissue) with improved signal to noise ratio.

      Purchase of 5 Fluorescence Microscopes

      Danmarks Tekniske Universitet (DTU) needs to purchase 5 fluorescence microscopes with a maximum total value of 1,400,000 DKK. The equipment should consist of four inverted microscopes with X/Y test tables, capable of visualizing samples using reflected light in fluorescence and bright field. The fluorescence detection system must be able to observe and separate DAPI, FITC, and TRITC fluorophores. The microscopes must be equipped with lenses for optical measurements from 4x to 100x magnification, using cover glass. Three microscopes need to image at 4x and 20x, one at 10x and phase contrast at 20x, and one at 10x and 60x or higher. All microscopes should include a 1.5x optivar lens and allow for mounting a C-mount camera with a 25mm FOV. One microscope must have a motorized X-Y table compatible with Micromanager software.
