Zeiss Lightfield 4D Microscope Seminar (Feb 12) and Demo (Feb 24-27 in HCI RN 3234)

Published on:

Dear HSC Cell Imaging Core Users,

We have some incredibly exciting news! 🚀

Together with ZEISS, we are thrilled to host an exclusive event to unveil and demo a brand-new ZEISS Lightfield 4D system—powerfully integrated with a ZEISS LSM 990!
Get ready for a two-part experience (see the attachment) designed to bring this groundbreaking technology directly to you:
  1. Kick-Off Seminar: Thursday, February 12th, at 11 AM (Online)
    Jump-start your journey! This virtual session is your gateway to understanding the revolutionary Lightfield 4D technology and learning exactly how to prepare your samples for the live demo. Don’t miss out—scan the QR code below to secure your spot!
  2. Hands-On Demo Week: February 24th–27th (In Person!)
    This is the moment you've been waiting for! Join us in HCI Research North, Room 3234 to experience the future of imaging firsthand. You'll get to test the system with your own samples on the LSM 990 with the Lightfield add-on. Spots are limited—scan the QR code now to claim yours!
New to Lightfield: Imagine rapid, high-resolution, gentle live-cell imaging in stunning 4D—it's a game-changer for dynamic research!
Lightfield 4D is instant volumetric imaging at high speed. Acquire comprehensive 3D information with a single snap and say goodbye to any time delay within an imaged volume. For the first time, capture the fastest movements within whole organisms at up to 80 volumes per second – with all spatiotemporal information intact. Crawling larvae, beating hearts, flowing blood, and firing neurons can be studied in 3D at unprecedented speed to unravel the secrets of life.
Lightfield 4D offers a unique solution by imaging an entire volume at an exact point in time, without any time delay. Instead of capturing single 2D images at different time points, a micro lens array positioned in between objective and camera generates 37 individual images, collecting all of the 3D information at the same instant. Each of these different views provides both spatial and angular information which serves as the foundation for creating a Z-stack through deconvolution-based processing. In this way, Lightfield 4D can generate 80 volume Z-stacks per second.
We are so excited to share this opportunity with you and can’t wait to see what you discover!  Contact Erik Hopkins (erik.hopkins@zeiss.com)  from Zeiss if you have any further question!
See you there!
Best,
The HSC Cell Imaging Core Team
