Jan De Bock , Dr.
Jan studied biology and did his PhD in the field of olfaction, characterizing olfactory neurons in their response to odorants.
Jan has worked as a microscopy expert in different roles since 2003. He joined Leica Microsystems in 2011 as a product specialist for confocal microscopy. In 2017, he became member of the newly formed Workflow and Application Team responsible for correlative workflows, in particular involving sample preparation and imaging under cryogenic conditions.
Targeting Active Recycling Nuclear Pore Complexes using Cryo Confocal Microscopy
In this article, how cryo light microscopy and, in particular cryo confocal microscopy, is used to improve the reliability of cryo EM workflows is described. The quality of the EM grids and samples is…Read article
Crystal clear cryo light-microscopy images
This article describes how computational clearing of cryo light microscopy images improves the identification of cellular targets for cryo electron-microscopy.Read article
Mosaic Images
Confocal laser scanning microscopes are widely used to create highly resolved 3D images of cells, subcellular structures and even single molecules. Still, an increasing number of scientists are…Read article
