In 2009 Carl Zeiss MicroImaging launched a series of 'ZEISS on Your Campus' (ZOYC) workshops across the US and Canada to explain the fundamentals of various microscopy techniques. These onsite training courses were designed to help all microscope users fully exploit the capabilities of their current systems and to aid in the selection of new technologies to best address developing applications. Due to the positive feedback together with the high number of participants Carl Zeiss has committed to further educational workshops in the coming years. Registration for the 2010 ZOYC tour coming soon...
- Provides theoretical and practical information as well as hands-on sessions
- Will focus on the special needs of live cell imaging applications
- Stops at selected locations across the US and Canada
- Starts in February 2010
At each venue we will offer an overview talk, followed by two
more specialized talks explaining photo-manipulation and
the application of single molecule techniques. The hands-on
sessions will be available for the demonstration of both basic
and advanced experimental techniques.
Talks
- Live Cell Imaging: Five Basic Requirements
- Photomanipulation: Considerations, Advantages, and Limitations
- Single Molecules: Going Beyond Basic Imaging
Basic Hands-On Sessions
The hands-on sessions will offer an opportunity to better
understand the optimization of imaging parameters for live
cells. Groups of a maximum of six participants will have the
opportunity to see the following systems imaging live cells
expressing mEmerald and mApple:
- Structured Illumination System (Vivatome)
- Spinning Disk Confocal (Cell Observer SD)
- Point Scanning Confocal (LSM 710/780)
All systems will be equipped with incubation & Definite Focus.
Advanced Demonstrations
The advanced demonstrations will give an insight into higher
speed acquisition and photo-manipulation techniques:
- High Speed Imaging on a Structured Illumination System
- FRAP and Photo-activation on a Spinning Disk Confocal or
- Point Scanning Confocal using cells expressing PA-GFP, tdEos, or mEOS2
Participation is free; educational workshop materials will be provided. We understand your time is limited, so you can choose
whichever hands-on sessions most interest you or fit your schedule. This way we can also be sure to keep the groups small and maximize your time with our instructors and instruments. Registration for the 2010 ZOYC tour coming soon...
