Microscopy Courses, Training and Education

The main aim is to understand the basic concept of Axio Scan.Z1 and learn how to operate the system for brightfield and fluorescence scanning including maintenance and tips and tricks. The knowledge transfer is realized mainly by hands-on.

Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy (FCS) is a highly sensitive method that detects movement and binding of fluorescence-labeled particles on the single molecule level. This course will familiarize you with the theoretical background of FCS and train you on how to perform and evaluate measurements in solutions.

Laser Scanning Microscopy is a standard method in biomedical research. Excellent knowledge of its theory and application is a prerequisite for experimental success. This course provides detailed knowledge about point scanning confocal microscopes of the LSM 9 family with ZEN Blue in respect to its assembly, features and application in biomedical sciences. 

This course provides basic knowledge about multicolor imaging using the LSM 9 family with ZEN Blue in respect to different configurations and hardware settings. Learn how to evaluate your image quality regarding crosstalk and more important – learn how to overcome it. In addition, you will learn basic steps regarding linear unmixing in confocal channel mode.

Multiphoton microscopy is a preferred method for non-invasive and deep tissue imaging of living or fixed samples. The course provides theoretical knowledge of this imaging technique and practical hands-on exercise in ZEN (blue edition).

Do you want to image large fields of view and whole sample volumes in shortest possible time? And do you want to image with superb image quality at the same time? The LSM 9 family with Airyscan 2 now gives you more options to fit imaging speeds and resolution to your experimental needs. This course provides detailed knowledge about the Airyscan 2 technology with the new Multiplex mode.
