Conquer the Confocal: Airyscan

This workshop will cover methods and supporting theory to enable attendees to become more comfortable and competent operating their ZEISS LSM 900s and 980s equipped with an Airyscan Detector. Prior confocal imaging background will be a necessary foundation to build on. It is recommended that attendees secure time on their instruments during or after the workshop sessions to apply the shared methods on their own challenging samples. Attendees are strongly encouraged to share their images from individual sessions and interact with our Applications team through independent email threads for further optimization.

We will host this workshop virtually from the ZEISS Microscopy Customer Center (ZMCC) in Dublin, CA. This is a 4-hour session including breaks.

Topics that will be covered in this workshop include:

Airyscan Imaging

• Basics of the Airyscan detector
  
• Airyscan detector alignment
• Superresolution and multiplex modes
• Multiplex modes on LSM 980 v. LSM 900 (4Y and 8Y)
  

Who should attend?

• Existing users of ZEISS LSMs with Airyscan (700/800/880/900/980)
  
• 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: Far red sensitivity on NIR

• Possess an improved ability to select imaging parameters to yield high-quality images of their samples
  
• Have greater confidence with complex imaging setups, optimizing imaging parameters, troubleshooting on LSMs 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
