Applications and Innovative Technologies in Microscopy
Friday ZEISS Lunch & Learn Sessions
Every two weeks, ZEISS imaging experts will introduce new & existing applications and innovative technologies in microscopy that help scientists shed light on their research questions. Each session will last one hour and include an open discussion.
Multi-color spectral imaging, lightsheet, electron & x-ray imaging are just some of the topics, that will be discussed and explained while we jointly share our lunch.
Imaging facility staff, biomedical imaging units, investigators, PhD students and anyone who utilizes microscopy technologies are kindly invited to participate.
Join all or choose any of the talks below.
- Colocalization: Pitfalls in Fluorescence Microscopy
- SEM Volume Imaging for Life Sciences
- Laboratory Based X-ray Microscopy for Structural Imaging in Life Sciences and Biomaterials
- Gauss and Bessel: Brothers in Arms for Exciting Samples in Lightsheet Microscopy
Sessions open for registration
Colocalization: Pitfalls in Fluorescence Microscopy
Friday
Product and Application Sales Specialist, ZEISS Microscopy
Key Learnings
In cell biology a typical scientific question is, do protein A and protein B interact. In colocalisation we cannot establish whether two proteins are interacting, but we can investigate whether two proteins are localised in the same spot in a quantitative way.
In this webinar we will discuss:
- What is colocalisation
- How to do colocalization quantification
- Further insights into fluorescence microscopy
SEM Volume Imaging for Life Sciences
Friday
Business Development Manager, ZEISS Microscopy
Key Learnings
Imaging and analysis of biological structures in 3D are becoming more and more relevant in all fields of life sciences. It may be difficult to distinguish between the advantages and limitations of different approaches for 3D Imaging with scanning electron microscopes (SEM).
In this webinar, we will discuss:
- Basic SEM contrast mechanism for life sciences
- Topography and atomic mass contrast imaging
- 3 different strategies for SEM volume imaging
Laboratory Based X-ray Microscopy for Structural Imaging in Life Sciences and Biomaterials
Friday
X-Ray Microscopy Systems Product Application and Sales Specialist, ZEISS Microscopy
Key Learnings
X-ray microscopy may be less popular, however, it is a very powerful technique to non-invasively image biological samples. For example with the ZEN Connect software, one can use x-ray microscopy with a Lightsheet 7 to fuse functional (fluorescence) and structural (x-ray) information.
In this webinar, we will discuss:
- Techniques for non-invasive imaging of biologic samples
- 3-Dimensional sample visualization
- Obtaining images with a resolution down to only a few nanometers
Gauss and Bessel: Brothers in Arms for Exciting Samples in Lightsheet Microscopy
Friday
Lightsheet and Superresolution Microscopy Product Application and Sales Specialist, ZEISS Microscopy
Key Learnings
In this webinar, we will discuss:
- Principles and advantages of Lightsheet imaging
- Gauss and Bessel: What’s the difference and how does it work?
- Range and overlap of applications with Lattice Lightsheet 7 and Lightsheet 7
