The Centre for Cellular Imaging is pleased to announce the installation of the LSM 880-Airyscan microscope with the fast acquisition module! This is the first system installed in Sweden with the Airyscan-fast acquisition capability!
The new system will enable confocal super-resolution imaging with four times the speed (of a normal confocal), and improved signal-to-noise ratio. The system is fully equipped for doing life cell imaging: and stable inverted microscope, with a large incubator (Tº, CO2,..), hardware autofocus, and an extra camera for research applications that do not need confocal. For more information about the system check here: http://blogs.zeiss.com/microscopy/news/en/zeiss-lsm-880-airyscan-introducing-fast-acquisition-mode/
This microscope is now installed at the Centre and to celebrate this, we will host an “Opening day” with a seminar where you can learn about the advanced technology that powers this class-leading instrument. During this day we would like to invite you to take a glimpse of what is possible with today’s Airyscan-fast acquisition Microscopy, and what type of questions can be addressed.
Please join us at the CCI Open day, 26th of September 2016 to explore this new microscope!

About the speaker:
Uroš Kržič graduated in Physics from the University of Ljubljana and did his PhD at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Heidelberg. He was from the very beginning involved in the development of the modern light-sheet microscopy, especially focusing on the multi-directional imaging techniques and related image processing. From 2010 to 2013, he worked at EMBL as a staff scientist for optical microscopy, developing novel fluorescent microscopes. From 2009 to 2012 he was also scientific coordinator of the international marine expedition Tara Oceans. He authored over 30 peer-reviewed scientific publications and several patents in the field of microscopy.
Uroš has been working in Carl Zeiss Microscopy since 2013, first as an aplication consultant for laser-scanning microscopes and more recently in the strategic marketing team that guides the development of the laser-scanning microscopes. His expertise cover high-end Carl Zeiss microscopes, including laser-scanning microscopes LSM 880 and LSM 800, Lightsheet Z.1 and super-resolution microscope Elyra PS.1.
