 Zeiss Elyra 7 with Lattice SIM

  • Resolve structures down to 60 nm.
  • Observe live cell dynamics at up to 255 fps.
  • Accelerate image acquisition in all three dimensions.
  • Get the sharpest sectioning in wide-field microscopy.
  • Utilize a wealth of imaging techniques on one platform.

Elyra 7 SIM resolution

Olympus VS200 Slide Scanner

The sliding scanning system is superior in fluorescence and brightfield capabilities

Leica Center of Excellence

The UC San Diego School of Medicine Microscopy Core is now a Leica Center of Excellence! We have three Leica systems that are supported by Leica:

 

If you would like to benefit from our center's collaboration with Leica, you can do so in the following ways:

Write a White Paper!

White papers are short descriptions of your research application. Descriptions include use of our Leica systems along with a beautiful image.

Write a Techical Note!

Technical notes consist of more indepth description of methods used or developed on the Leica platform.

Both white papers and technical notes are a great way for you to increase the impact of your publication! Readers will naturally visit your publication after reading your Leica collaboration and potentially cite your paper.

Give a Webinar!

Leica can promote your lab and your research through hosting your talk to the world! 

Be a guest speaker at a local conference!

Leica can host you to be a guest speaker at one of the many local conferences held in San Diego.

If you are interested in any of these options or would like more information, please email us for details.

 

Leica Representative Onsite

A Leica representative can come onsite for assistance as requested

Core staff are available during business hours to answer any questions regarding all core resources and techniques


Webinars, Seminars and Demonstrations

Zeiss Elrya 7 Lattice SIM workshop

Oct. 21st - 23rd

Bring your samples for an in person demonstration of the Elyra 7 capabilities. Registration is required for the demonstration. Samples should be fixed material with strong staining that is structured. The system can acheive resolutions down to 60nm in XY with the proper samples. 

Autonomous Microscopy Powered by Aivia Software - AI Rare Event Detection

Oct. 29th 9:30-10:30AM

CNCB Large Conference Room

Autonomously detect up to 90% of rare events in biological samples using the AI-powered image analysis software Aivia.

Coffee and Bagels will be served

FLIM Workshop date TBD

If you are interested in attending a FLIM workshop please email jsantini@health.ucsd.edu!
