Next Generation Superresolution Microscopy with ZEISS Elyra 7

ZEISS Symposium & Workshop

ZEISS Forum - Oberkochen

February 27 - 28, 2019


Take advantage of this unique opportunity to see the latest advances in superresolution microscopy live - with the recently launched ZEISS Elyra 7 featuring Lattice Structured Illumination Microscopy (SIM).

We are proud to welcome the 2014 Nobel Prize Laureate, Professor Eric Betzig, for a keynote lecture. Eric Betzig, who continues to pioneer research at the forefront of microscopy, will introduce new technologies and their application in multidimensional biological fluorescence imaging including superresolution microscopy.

Convince yourself at a second day of comprehensive workshop sessions to learn how your work can benefit from a flexible platform for fast and gentle superresolution imaging

  • Observe fast biological processes with an unprecedented speed of up to 255 frames / sec at superresolution using Lattice  
  • Reduce the light dosage on your precious specimen and still capture all the details – in multiple colors simultaneously
  • Resolve molecular structures in 3D with Single Molecule Localization Microscopy at up to 20 nm lateral resolution and unmatched 3D capture range of 1.4µm in one go
  • Use dual camera detection to simultaneously acquire two colors with high precision
  • Learn about the new Apotome mode for superfast optical sectioning with ZEISS Elyra 7

Don’t miss out – be one of the first to experience the next generation microscopy with ZEISS Elyra 7. 

ZEISS symposium and workshop are free of charge. Register here until February 1, 2019.

Sorry!
Registrations closed.

Due to the overwhelming interest in the event, our system demonstrations on February 28th are unfortunately already fully booked.  Therefore a further workshop is planned. If you are interested, we will inform you as soon as the date for a second workshop is fixed and reserve a place for you.

Yes, I would like to make a preregistration for a later Elyra workshop. Please, keep me informed.

Lattice SIM

Fast and gentle live cell imaging

Lattice SIM overcomes limitations of classic SIM by using an innovative spot illumination pattern instead of grid lines. The result is a breakthrough in light efficiency, enabling fast and gentle superresolution imaging of living specimen.

Microtubules - PALM (63x Oil)

Single Molecule Localization Microscopy

Faster, more flexibility, without compromising on resolution

With the efficient dual camera detection and high power laser lines across the visible spectrum, you're free to choose your dyes and markers for experiments.

COS-7 cells. Maximum intesity projection of 66 sections. Microtubules stained with Alexa 488 (green) and Actin stained with Alexa 568 (red). The Apotome mode allowed simultaneous dual ­color acquisition.

SMLM: Alpha tubulin was labelled with Alexa 555 and beta ­tubulin with Alexa 488. The two channels were acquired ­simultaneously. The epitopes are either occupied by a green fluorophore or by a red one – shown by the mutual exclusion between the green and the red dye molecules.
