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.

 

 

Webinars, Seminars and Demonstrations

 

Imaris 3D analysis Seminar and Workshop

Please join us for an Imaris 3D analysis workshop hosted by the UCSD School of Medicine Microscopy Core. We'll demonstrate how advanced image analysis tools can accelerate your scientific research while delivering more robust, reliable results. The workshop features an Imaris seminar highlighting the latest AI-enhanced analysis capabilities, plus the opportunity to book a 1:1 session with an Imaris specialist to learn how to get the most out of your own microscope images.

Registration is required.
