Light Microscopy Training
The hands-on training in the Center will provide instructions and consultation on sample preparation, the use of our light microscopes for different observation modes, optimal image capture and processing techniques. Depending on the amount of experience and specific needs, the amount of training time will vary. Typically, two hours will be necessary for demonstration and practice on the Zeiss Axiophot and the imaging software.
Training on the confocal microscopes may require more time until the new user is able to operate the microscope independently. Suggested reading: A. Hibbs: Confocal Microscopy for Biologists. Springer, 2004. The requirements for successful check-out on the Olympus confocal microscope are listed here: Checkout_Olympus_confocal.pdf
