Workshop

Efficiency Unlocked: Workflow Wizardry with ZEISS Celldiscoverer 7

A ZMCC Virtual SkillBuilder Workshop

10 AM - 2 PM PST

Workshop Overview

This workshop will cover aspects of automating workflows including end-to-end workflows combining image acquisition to analysis on the ZEISS Celldiscoverer 7. Current owners of ZEISS Celldiscoverer 7 or ZEISS Celldiscoverer 7 with LSM 900 having any level of operational knowledge will primarily benefit from this workshop.

This is a four-hour remote session: 3.5 hours of training with a 30-minute break broadcasted from the ZEISS Microscopy Customer Center (ZMCC) in Dublin, CA. The primary purpose of the virtual workshop is to enable users to become proficient with setting up efficient workflows on their CD7. Users looking for a deeper dive into topics e.g. use of tiles and positions, focus strategies, etc., are recommended to enroll in any of our immersive in-person 2-day workshops.

Topics that will be covered in this workshop include:

  • Hardware overview and sample loading
  • Screening multi-well plates in widefield mode incorporating an analysis routine utilizing BioApps for nuclear count, confluency, gene and protein expression
  • High resolution imaging utilizing LSM, Airyscan and mixed modalities
  • Introduction to Guided Acquisition workflow combining screening for features of interest with high-resolution imaging

Who should attend?

  • Existing users of ZEISS Celldiscoverer 7 and ZEISS Celldiscoverer 7 with LSM 900
  • Infrequent users looking for a refresher on setting up workflows and gain higher level of proficiency
  • 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:

  • Possess an improved ability to select imaging parameters to yield high-quality images of their samples
  • Have greater confidence with setting up experiments and troubleshooting on challenging sample types 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

Additional information and recommendations:

  • We strongly recommend that users attend the virtual workshop while sitting at their own instrument so that they can "click along" with the trainer.
