Confocal microscopes

Every 6 months we will offer a general microscopy course for new students and anyone else is interested in learning the basics of microscopy. The course will have a theory section with slide presentation (approx. 2 hours), followed by a practical section (approx. 1 hour).

In addition, we are available any time for the following training sessions, for individuals or small groups. Contact Cris or Graham to arrange a session.

Basic light microscopy course (1 hour)

  • Microscope anatomy
  • Transmitted and reflected light paths
  • Objective lenses
  • Kohler illumination
  • DIC/Phase contrast
  • Widefield fluorescence
  • Microscope care
Basic confocal microscopy course for Zeiss/Leica microscopes (2 hours)
  • On/off procedure
  • Booking system and guidelines
  • Lasers and HBO use
  • Objective lenses
  • Confocal software (LSM/LAS AF programs) - configuration, single/multi-track (simultaneous/sequential), dynamic range, Z-stack, time-series, 3D reconstruction, file storage
  • Confocal care
Advanced/refresh confocal microscopy course
  • Tailor-made training according to what the user needs (e.g. if you want to learn more about a specific technique, or if you used a confocal a while ago and you don't feel confident restarting on your own)
