The Imaging and Optics Facility (IOF) is developing continuously. On this page we provide an overview of the ongoing activities in our events calendar (current maintenance, workshops, equipment demonstrations, courses,.. ), and link to the archive of our weekly update newsletter. to previous teaching activities (courses & seminars) and equipment demonstration & workshops.
Welcome to ISTA and thank you for your interest to start using laser equipment. This general laser safety training is meant for NEW scientists and staff that are planning to use laser based equipment and/or need access to a laser lab. New users of microscopes of the IOF machine park have to sign up for the IOF Newcomer training, where the laser safety to use microscopes is already included. This General laser safety training is planned for every first Monday of the month, at 15:00h and normally takes about 30 minutes
The Imaging & Optics Facility at ISTA, is organizing Advanced Imaging Spring Workshop, in tight collaboration with Carl Zeiss. (1 ECTS for ISTA students)
The aim of the workshop is to familiarize researchers with the following systems and topics:
The general purpose is to learn to select the optimal technology to best match to sample and scientific question. Researchers are allowed to bring their own (BioSafety Level 1) samples and explore the different technologies with dedicated support of product experts in small 'working groups".
LightSheet 7, Lattice LightSheet, Lattice SIM (ELYRA7/SIM 3), Lightfield 4D, and data analysis using Arivis
Key differences between the individual systems and technologies
Guidance on selecting the most suitable system for specific sample types to achieve optimal results
Proposal for a decision-support questionnaire (“Which system should I use?”)
Tips and best practices for sample preparation
Strategies for efficient and effective data analysis (parallel to the imaging slots)
All technologies are supported by specialists from Carl Zeiss:
Debora Olivier: Elyra 7
Gerry Sexton: Lightsheet 7
Christine Strasser: LSM9 LF4D
Michael Gue: Lattice Lightsheet 7
Andrija Nikodijevic: Arivis
The schedule allows to rotate over all available technologies learn which technology works, and which might be less optimal (and why..!)
Program:
Monday April 13 - presentations (room i21.EG.128 - Office Bldg West / Ground floor / Foyer seminar room)
Tuesday April 14 - group rotations over all 4 technologies: Lighsheet7; Lattice Lighseet7; Lightfiled4D; SIM3 / Elyra7 + image analysis (Arivis)
Wednesday April 15 - group rotations over all 4 technologies: Lighsheet7; Lattice Lighseet7; Lightfiled4D; SIM3 / Elyra7 + image analysis (Arivis)
Thursday April 16 - group rotations over all 4 technologies: Lighsheet7; Lattice Lighseet7; Lightfiled4D; SIM3 / Elyra7 + image analysis (Arivis)
Every day, there is the possibility to investigate the acquired data, using the Arivis image analysis software.

Welcome to ISTA and/or thank you for your interest to start using the Imaging & Optics Facility. To streamline the equipment trainings better, we provide an “New user introduction to Imaging & Optics Facility” to make you aware of our infrastructure, safety guidelines and overall house-rules. This EXTRA introduction is planned for every 2nd Monday of the month, at 14:00h and normally takes less than 1 hour.

Join us for a presentation and Q&A with Roy Shoumik, CEO of Stable Scopes, who will introduce their VaHeat precision heating insert for microscopy.
The VaHeat insert can heat up to 100°C within seconds and run customized heating protocolls for complex experimental set-ups. Stable Scopes also provides a variety of substrates for the VaHeat to customize for a wide variety of Experiments.
If you want to test it in person, we have the demo System at ISTA until the end of April.
