FAQs for ZEISS in Cancer Research

  • The ZEISS Celldiscoverer 7 combined with arivis Pro software provides an automated solution for high-content organoid analysis. The system can automatically detect and focus on organoids, segment their outer layer and lumen, and measure key parameters like volume, shape, and cell numbers. For more complex analyses, the system can track marker expression at the single-cell level and process hundreds of organoids in multi-well plates.

  • The ZEISS LSM 980 with Airyscan 2 offers exceptional sensitivity and spectral flexibility for multi-channel imaging of the tumor microenvironment. The system provides super-resolution capabilities down to 120 nm laterally, while the new Multiplex mode enables faster acquisition for capturing dynamic interactions. For even higher resolution of subcellular structures, the new Lattice SIM 5 can achieve 60 nm resolution with up to 4 channels.

  • The ZEISS Axioscan 7 is ideal for high-throughput digital pathology and biomarker screening, capable of scanning up to 100 slides unattended. The system supports brightfield, fluorescence and polarization imaging modes, with automated focusing and scan profile creation through ZEN Slidescan software. Data management and sharing is streamlined through ZEN Data Storage and Explorer.

  • The ZEISS Lattice Lightsheet 7 is specifically designed for gentle, long-term volumetric imaging of living samples. The system uses an ultra-thin light sheet that minimizes phototoxicity while providing extremely fast acquisition speeds. Built-in environmental controls maintain optimal conditions for multi-day imaging of cell migration and invasion processes.

  • The new ZEISS Lattice SIM 3 combines fast imaging speeds (up to 255 fps) with 120 nm spatial resolution, making it ideal for capturing rapid immune cell-tumor cell interactions. For longer term studies, the Celldiscoverer 7 with confocal module provides automated environmental control and multi-position acquisition. Both systems can be combined with incubation and environmental control for maintaining physiological conditions during extended imaging sessions.
