Intensive Courses for Microscopy

From Light to Electron Microscopy

Practical microscopy training has a long tradition at ZEISS. The first courses were held in Jena as early as 1907.
Since 2022, practical courses have been offered on site at ZEISS in Austria. Due to the positive feedback, we have expanded the offer and are now able to offer different course modules from basic to advanced. The areas covered reach from light microscopy to confocal and electron microscopy.

The courses offered are only held on site in Austria with experienced ZEISS trainers. Each course can be booked individually. You will find more information in the detailed course descriptions below. Benefit from personal support in small groups and intensive practical training. On individual request, the course content can be adapted for specific applications.

Benefit from the many years of experience of our experts and become an expert yourself!

Basics of Laser Scanning Microscopy

March 16, 2023 | 9:30 - 16:30

Course Language: English
Location: ZEISS Vienna

Laser Scanning Microscopy is a standard method in biomedical research. Excellent knowledge of its theory and application is a prerequisite for experimental success.

Key Learnings

  • Take a deep dive in the basics of laser scanning microscopy (light, confocal beam path, image quality).
  • During hands-on you will work intensively with the ZEISS LSM 900 on different topics (image acquisition and optimization, Z-stacks, time series).
  • Get to know the newest advances like Airyscan jDCV and test them for yourself.

  • Topics:

    • Basics Light (diffraction, resolution)
    • Beam path
    • Image Quality (pixel, gain detectors, crosstalk)

    Hands-On:

    • Beam Path: creation of tracks, line/frame
    • Image Optimization with: crosstalk-free, gain, speed, pixel
    • Z-stack and time series
    • LSM plus
    • Tiles and positions
    • Airyscan with jDCV

    For whom is the course suitable?

    This course is ideal for beginners and advanced learners who want to refresh their knowledge. The course is tailored for persons who are working directly with the system. No special knowledge is required, basic knowledge in light microscopy is beneficial.

    Set-up:

    You will receive a theoretical introduction followed by practical hands-on sessions with the ZEISS LSM 900. The structure of the course is very flexible and interactive and we can discuss your individual requests.

Training for the Imaging Software ZEN blue

September 14, 2023 | 9:30 - 16:30

Course Language: English
Location: ZEISS Vienna

Key Learnings

  • In this training you will be introduced to the configuration of the ZEN blue Imaging Software and learn more about the Micro Tool Box.
  • We will show you how to create multidimensional images using different software modules and focus strategies.
  • You will work with the latest versions of ZEN (blue edition) and Axiocam digital microscopy cameras to learn how to perfectly acquire digital images and how to process and how to save them.

  • Topics:

    • Configuration of the Micro Tool Box.
    • Introduction to the software-design, camera settings, microscope settings & acquisition.
    • Scaling, scale bar and annotations
    • Simple interactive measurements
    • Selected ZEN Modules will be shown in detail (Z-Stack, Time Series, Tiles & Positions, extended depth of focus, autofocus, etc…
    • Sytems: ZEISS Axio Observer, ZEISS Axio Imager und ZEISS Axio Zoom.
    • You are welcome to bring your own samples.

    For whom is the course suitable?

    This course is tailored for people having already some knowledge of microscopy and who want to focus on the functionality of ZEN.

    Set-up:

    This course consists essentially of practical hands-on sessions. The control software of a microscope system will be shown on a beamer for presenting each software functionality and several other stand-alone systems will be used alternatively to present a wider microscope spectrum. All participants will practice on the different microscope stations.
