ZEISS On Your Campus (ZOYC) Event

Have you ever wished it would be possible to achieve sub-100 nm resolution in living samples without having to adapt your sample preparation to fit the imaging method?

Structured Illumination Microscopy (SIM) has become a go-to super-resolution fluorescence microscopy technique for live imaging due to its comparatively gentle illumination and compatibility with standard fluorophores. The introduction of Lattice SIM extended live imaging capabilities even further by increasing gentleness and achievable frame rates; however, the resolution remained a two-fold improvement over the diffraction limit (~120 nm laterally and 300 nm axially).

Join us to learn how the new ZEISS Elyra 7 with Lattice SIM² extends the spatial and temporal resolution capability of SIM beyond what was previously possible allowing you to achieve 60 nm resolution laterally and axial sectioning beyond 200 nm. Lattice SIM² opens the door to formerly unattainable applications by enabling the observation of rapid sub-organelle structural changes and inter-organelle interactions without the need to modify your standard sample preparation protocols.

In this seminar, you will learn how to:

• Discriminate sub-organelle structures down to 60 nm without the need for special sample preparation or expert knowledge of complex techniques
• Capture highly dynamic processes at up to 255 fps
• Optimize resolution and sectioning with a variety of magnifications on samples ranging from photo-sensitive cell cultures to scattering C. elegans, plants and tissue sections using one versatile imaging platform.
  

Location: Orin Smith Auditorium, 850 Republican St, Seattle, WA 98109. This presentation will also be broadcast live through GoToWebinar. By registering, you will automatically receive the webinar link. 

Hands-on demos will be available at the University of Washington from June 27 - July 1, 2022. Space is limited.
