Oliver Prange, Ph.D., Dipl. Biol.
Application Specialist

Oliver is the Carl Zeiss Applications Specialist for Western Canada supporting all advanced imaging applications. This includes microscopic image acquisition, as well as image analysis and data interpretation.

Oliver holds a Ph.D. in Neuroscience, and has post-doctoral experience with emphasis on structural developmental neurobiology. With a background of over 25 years of advanced imaging applications in multiple scientific fields, Oliver is supporting ZEISS solutions for widefield, confocal, and super-resolution imaging, as well as laser microdissection and automated microscopy solutions. Oliver also has led a number of projects in translational research leading to commercial applications for imaging based diagnostics and prognostics products. Oliver is excited to share his knowledge and skillset with any new and existing ZEISS customer.

The Celldiscoverer 7 platform from ZEISS combines the easy-to-use automation of a boxed microscope with the image quality and flexibility of a classic inverted research microscope. Celldiscoverer 7 calibrates itself, then detects and focuses on your samples while the optics adjust themselves. Whether working with 2D or 3D cell cultures, tissue sections or small model organisms, you will acquire better data in shorter times with this reliable automated research platform. What’s more, you can enhance your Celldiscoverer 7 with optical sectioning to get more information from your three-dimensional samples. It’s your choice whether you opt for confocal imaging with LSM 900 and Airyscan 2 or fast GPU deconvolution.

Join this webinar to learn how Celldiscoverer 7 can help you:

• Image well plate assays with fixed and live cells
• Increase your throughput with automation
  
• Reproducibly and consistently collect the data you need
  

The LSM 9 family with Airyscan 2 from ZEISS enables the perfect balance of speed and resolution for today’s confocal-imaging needs. The new Multiplex mode extends sensitive Airyscan imaging to larger model systems with low expression levels by increasing acquisition speeds even further while reducing the illumination dosage to the sample. This novel concept allows rapid volumetric imaging with unprecedented resolution beyond what is available in traditional confocal systems today.

Join this webinar and learn how the ZEISS LSM 9 series with Airyscan 2 can help you:

• Capture weaker signals—and still get sound, reproducible data
• Achieve faster volumetric imaging without sacrificing resolution
• Increase data throughput for your imaging needs
• Improve your productivity through efficient software features

ZEISS ZEN software is the heart of all ZEISS light microscope systems enabling image acquisition in a smart and efficient way. ZEN also incorporates powerful image analysis tools to help you convert your images into data. ZEN includes easy to use automated workflows and machine learning tools to simplify image analysis tasks.

Join this webinar to learn how the ZEN Image Analysis can help you:

• Convert your images into data
• Use machine learning to segment and analyze your images 
• Automate your image analysis to create reproducibility in your data
   

ZEISS Elyra 7 takes your images beyond the diffraction limit of conventional microscopy to superresolution. Lattice SIM enables fast imaging of 3D volumes with resolution down to 120 nm laterally and 300 nm axially. Due to higher light efficiency, the new Lattice SIM technology provides gentle superresolution imaging of living specimens at up to 255 frames per second. Using less light to illuminate the specimen means imaging longer with less bleaching of the sample. The SIM-Apotome mode allows superfast optical sectioning of 3D samples at a variety of magnifications and single molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) techniques such as PALM, dSTORM and PAINT can be utilized to achieve resolution down to 20 nm laterally and 50 nm axially.

Join this webinar and learn how the ZEISS Elyra 7 with Lattice SIM can help you:

• Examine the fastest processes in living samples – in large fields of view, in 3D, gently over long time periods, and with multiple colors
• Resolve molecular structures in 3D with single molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) using techniques such as PALM, dSTORM, and PAINT
• Achieve rapid optical sectioning of large volumes from low to high magnification
   

Axio Scan.Z1 from ZEISS reliably and reproducibly creates high quality virtual slides. The outstanding image quality is based on plan-apochromatic objectives with numerical aperture up to 0.95. Highly automated and very simple to operate, Axio Scan.Z1 tackles the most demanding research tasks as easily as it handles your routine work, controlled by familiar ZEN software from ZEISS: operation is designed specifically for the workflow of capturing virtual slides for your research tasks.

Join this webinar to learn how the Axio Scan.Z1 can help you:

• Reliably digitize your specimens and create high quality virtual slides
• Collect fluorescence and brightfield images at high speed
• Increase your imaging throughput with automation
