Opening of the Lightsheet 7

Practical information

Event Timing: January 18th, 2024

Lectures Address: Birgit Thilander, Academicum, Medicinaregatan 3

Demo Address: Medicinaregatan, floor 1, staircase of door 7A

For more information: contact the CCI via cci@gu.se

IMPORTANT: Registration ends on January 11th!

The Centre for Cellular Imaging is pleased to announce the purchase and installation of the Lightsheet 7 fluorescence microscopeLight sheet fluorescence microscopy (LSFM) uses a thin sheet of light to excite only fluorophores within the focal volume. It is ideal for fast and gentle imaging of whole living model organisms, tissues and cells as they develop – over extended periods of time. Furthermore, the Lightsheet 7 is designed to handle large optically cleared specimens with subcellular resolution. Dedicated optics, sample chambers and holders allow adaption to the refractive index of the chosen clearing method.

The Lightsheet 7 is now installed at the Centre for Cellular Imaging and to celebrate this we will host an "Opening Day" with seminars and demos, where you can learn about this technology and other types of equipment available at the CCI. 

Please join us on January 18th to explore what is possible with this new instrumentation!

Register now!

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

Where do we meet?

We meet in the computer room located at the light microscopy corridor of the CCI. Medicinaregatan floor 1, next to the elevator close to entrance 1F

Opening day at the Centre for Cellular Imaging Elyra 7 and LSM980

LSM980 with Airyscan 2 and Elyra 7 with Lattice SIM and SMLM

The Centre for Cellular Imaging (CCI) is pleased to announce the purchase and installation of two new systems: A Super-resolution and a Laser Scanning Microscope for fast live imaging!!

Event Timing: February 23rd, 2023
Lectures Address: Hörsal Arvid Carlsson, Academicum, Medicinaregatan 3
Demo Address: Medicinaregatan, floor 1, staircase of door 7A

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.

Venue for the lectures: Hörsal Arvid Carlsson, Academicum, Medicinaregatan 3 Google Maps link
