Projection of a series of optical sections through a Purkinje neuron revealing both the overall morphology (red) and the denditric spines (green). The unconjugated red dye fills the entire dendritic tree when injected, including shafts and spines. In contrast, the phalloidin-Alexa 488 conjugate selectively labels the spines.

•Colaboración entre MEDICINA – UBA y National Center for Microscopy and Imaging Research San Diego, California

• Incrementa la posibilidad de realización de proyectos que requieren múltiples sesiones

•Provee acceso a microscopios no disponibles en Argentina, así como a programas de análisis y visualización de imágenes

HiggsHiggs--Boson Production in HighBoson Production in High--Energy Hadronic Energy Hadronic ColliCollisions (D0 at FermiLab)sions (D0 at FermiLab)

Production of W bosons and Higgs, one of the dominant channels, when the W decays to electron plus neutrino and the Higgs to a b quark-antiquark pair, each b giving rise to jets, a collimated spray of particles.
