Ace Slide Scanning on your ZEISS Axioscan 7
A ZMCC SkillBuilder Workshop
Workshop Overview & Agenda
This workshop will cover all aspects of successfully generating whole slide images utilizing the ZEISS Axioscan 7. A deep dive into software features with application examples will be covered. Current owners of ZEISS Axioscan 7 with any level of operational knowledge will primarily benefit while Z1 customers will have a chance to work with the added benefits on Axioscan 7.
This is a four-hour remote session (with breaks) broadcasted from the ZEISS Microscopy Customer Center (ZMCC) in Dublin, CA.
Topics that will be covered in this workshop include:
- System and software overview
- Configuring and optimizing Brightfield Scan Profiles
- Scan profile wizard overview
- Coarse and Fine focus strategies
- Scan settings
- Z stack , EDF, image compression
- Configuring and optimizing Fluorescence Scan Profiles
- Fluorescence scan settings
- Generate shading references and shading correction
Who should attend?
- Existing users of ZEISS Axioscan Z1 or Axioscan 7
- Infrequent users looking for a refresher on slide scanning workflows and gain higher level of proficiency
- Lab managers or technicians looking to improve their own skill level to better support and/or train other users of the instrument
Learning objectives after completion of this workshop, attendees should:
- Possess an improved ability to select imaging parameters to yield high-quality images of their samples
- Have greater confidence with setting up scan profiles and troubleshooting on challenging sample types and analyzing acquired datasets
- Be connected with the North American Applications team who can support them as they work towards acquiring the best data possible
