Tissue Clearing: from sample to imaging | October 15 – 17 (3 days)

Course Language: English
Location: ISTA Klosterneuburg, Austria
In microscopy, optical clearing emerges as an essential technique to overcome the problem of opacity in biological tissue.

Over the course of three days you will practice different techniques of tissue clearing yourself.
Experts for ECI and Cubic Clearing will support you and share their knowledge in different theoretical introductions.
You will image your cleared sample on different ZEISS systems and imaging technologies (Lightsheet, Axio Zoom, LSM 980).
You are welcome to bring your own sample.

Target Group: Researchers in Life Science. Basic experience in imaging is of advantage.
Trainer: Wolf Heusermann
Course Fee: 900,- Catering for the three days as well as the usage of all systems and clearing solutions are included.

ISTA: Seminar - Novel Staining Strategies for Advanced Imaging Applications
2025-06-17 09:30 - 11:00 | ISTA, Am Campus 1, Klosterneuburg, 3400, Austria
The Imaging & Optics Facility ( IOF ) at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) is hosting a seminar by Dr. Dawid Lbik. This seminar serves as a pre-seminar for a hands-on staining strategy workshop, aiming to introduce the newest labeling approaches for emerging technologies in superresolution, spatial-omics, and large-panel stainings. These are all fields that have seen significant technological developments and are rapidly gaining popularity across research fields and imaging applications.
As the person responsible for Abberior Dyes and Labels in Central Europe, Dr. Dawid Lbik can provide insights into both academic and commercial trends. Overall, concepts and considerations of tagging and linking options, dye properties, and staining strategies will be introduced, followed by a Q&A session for planning a ‘follow-up’ hands-on session – that will be hosted at ISTA in the second half of 2025.
Date/time on June 17, 2025 – 9:30h, Seminar Room Mondi 1

Workshop: Zeiss Spring Advanced Imaging Workshop (ISTA)
2026-04-13 08:00 - 2026-04-16 17:00 | ISTA, Am Campus 1, Klosterneuburg, 3400, Austria
The Imaging & Optics Facility at ISTA, is organizing Advanced Imaging Spring Workshop, in tight collaboration with Carl Zeiss.
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
Tuesday April 14 – group rotations over all 4 technologies: Lighsheet7; Lattice Lighseet7; Lightfiled4D; SIM3 / Elyra7 + image Analysis (Arrivis)
Wednesday April 15 – group rotations over all 4 technologies: Lighsheet7; Lattice Lighseet7; Lightfiled4D; SIM3 / Elyra7 + image Analysis (Arrivis)
Thursday April 16 – group rotations over all 4 technologies: Lighsheet7; Lattice Lighseet7; Lightfiled4D; SIM3 / Elyra7 + image Analysis (Arrivis)

Every day, there is the possibility to investigate the acquired data, suing the Arrivis image analysis software.
