IBRO, the International Brain Research Organization, invites the world’s neuroscientists to Florence, Italy, for the 8th IBRO World Congress, taking place July 14-18, 2011 in order to promote and coordinate research in all fields related to brain. The IBRO focuses on young researchers from all over the world.

Morgentau Solutions will present its software to control microscope systems at the exhibition center of the IBRO. Our software Morgentau M1 will be shown at the booth of Luigs & Neumann (booth #41). There, Luigs & Neumann - our cooperation partner - presents its electrophysical workstations including our software Morgentau M1 to control their microscope shifting tables and micromanipulators. Get to know all about how our products and solutions can enhance your research.

An article written by the authors P. Beed, M. Bendels, H.F. Wiegand, C. Leibold, W. Johenning and D. Schmitz, who are all experts in neuroscience, was published in December 2010 in Neuron, Volume 68, Issue 6, 1059-1066. They examined the micro circuitry in the excitatory cells, a largely unknown cell interaction in the Medial Entorhinal Cortex (MEC), which plays an important role in case of physiological processes underlying navigation, learning, and memory. Due to our software M1, which is able to control XYZ-stages, autofocus, time lapse, etc., the research was feasible and comfortable as well.

With their business concept, in particular with their microscope software M1, Morgentau Solutions won - together with others - the conceptual stage of the Science4Live business plan competition. Science4Live is a science and business network supported by both the Hessian State Government and Sanofi-Aventis. On an annual basis, Science4Life organizes a business plan competition. On March 4, 2010, Morgentau Solutions won - together with others - the conceptual stage of the 2010 competition where more than 60 entrepreneurs handed in their business plans. This award is highly recognized in the German life sciences, biotechnology, and chemistry community and - one again - honours the excellent software Morgentau Solutions offers for both researchers in medical basic research and industrial research and development.

To help researchers to use the Morgentau M1 microscope software more efficiently, tutorial videos were produced which are also provided online. One of the videos shows how to use navigation points in case the researcher wants to relocate the microscope stage to a specific point later on, to map a structure of the specimen, or to trace the path of a dendrite. Another tutorial explains how photos of the specimen can be taken, how they can be stitched together, and how they can be exported for later use (e.g., in a paper or in a presentation).

Currently, these online tutorials exist:

• Navigation Points: Using navigation points to navigate, mark objects and find previous positions again
• Stitching Images Together: Demonstrating how images can be stitched together
• Path for Scanning: Showing how equidistant navigation points can be defined along a dendrite
• Zoom and Autofocus: Using autofocus and zoom capabilities
