CALL4HELP: Monthly event
CALL4HELP in Light Microscopy, Image Acquisition & Analysis
Are you struggling with your imaging pipeline and need advice on which microscopy technique is best for your sample, what analysis workflow would best answer your question or simply how to set up the whole imaging experiment?
CCI can help!
On the 3rd Friday of each month we are organising open hours (13:00 – 15:00) where our light microscopy and bioimage analysis experts can meet with you and discuss your sample preparation protocol (if you share it in advance), which microscope to use, which microscopy modality to use (e.g. functional microscopy), how to generate appropriate controls, how to perform quantitative image analysis, and other topics.
To register follow the link to the Registration Form
- 2023 - Jan - 20th: In this meeting, participants brought questions related to image analysis and quantification. One was related to morphological descriptors (e.g., shape characteristics), and the other was related to intensity (level of expression) and spatial distribution.

ZEISS ELYRA 7 with Lattice SIM² and Single Molecule Localization - Your Live Imaging System with Unprecedented Resolution. The super-resolution microscope ELYRA 7 with Lattice SIM² you can now double the conventional SIM resolution and discriminate the finest sub-organelle structures, even those no more than 60 nm apart. You don‘t need to sacrifice resolution when imaging at high speed (up to 255 fps ) using only the minimal exposure needed for life observation. ELYRA 7 enables you to combine super-resolution and high-dynamic imaging – without the need for special sample preparation or expert knowledge of complex microscopy techniques.
ZEISS LSM 980 with Airyscan 2 - Your Unique Confocal Experience for Fast and Gentle Multiplex Imaging. To analyze life with as little disturbance as possible, you must use low labeling density for your biological models. This requires excellent imaging performance combined with low phototoxicity and high speed. LSM 980, your platform for confocal 4D imaging, is optimized for simultaneous spectral detection of multiple weak labels with the highest light efficiency.
These two microscopes are now installed at the Centre and to celebrate this, we will host an “Opening day” with seminars and demos where you can learn about these advanced technologies that powers these class-leading instruments. During this day we would like to invite you to take a glimpse of what is possible with these microscopes, and what type of questions can be addressed.
Please, join us at the ”CCI Opening day”, 23rd of February 2023, to explore this new microscopes!

2017
Workshop: Tools and Techniques for 3D Light and Electron Microscopy: Dec 12, 2017 - Gothenburg
This is a collaboration between the Centre for Cellular Imaging at the University of Gothenburg and Carl Zeiss. Scanning electron microscopes (SEMs) are increasingly used in biomedical research to obtain large volume data of biological samples. With a SEM you are not limited to grid-mounted samples and it is possible to produce hundreds of serial sections and investigate automatically in the SEM. Furthermore, blocks of cells or tissue can be processed directly in the microscope to produce large 3D volumes of pre-selected target areas. Using the latest software, this functionality offers a straightforward integration with other microscopy techniques such as fluorescence, laser scanning, and X-Ray microscopy. Applying these modalities enables you to combine functional and ultra-structural information across length-scales.
Program highlights
- Introduction into SEM portfolio
- Basics of SEM imaging in Life Sciences
- 3D volume in modern SEM methods
- Multi SEM
- Orion and or XRM
- Correlative Microscopy Scientific customer presentation related to SEM
