Over the last month, two new systems were installed by ZEISS and the OIC. These 2 systems will expand the imaging capabilities within the OIC. The LSM 990, equipped with Airyscan technology, enables super-resolution imaging with resolutions down to 90 nm. Whereas the LSM910 provides the capability of preforming live-cell imaging witin a BSL-2 enviroment.
Introduction sessions for both systems will start later this year.
On Thursday and Friday February 5 & 6 2026 the OIC organizes, in cooperation with the Erasmus MC Graduate School a two-day Image analysis course “Microscopic Image Analysis: From Theory to Practice”. This course focuses on first time users and explains the basis of image analysis and how to use this in Fiji (ImageJ).
Microscopic images contain much more information than normally is retrieved. Extracting this information by visual inspection and manual measurement is not only cumbersome but also subjective. Automation of image analysis tasks by using a computer and the right software tools allows for higher efficiency, accuracy, objectivity, reproducibility, and completeness.
Participants should bring their own laptop to the course for the practical exercises. Software and sample image data will be provided during the course. No prior knowledge of image processing is required. Participants have the opportunity to bring their own image data and directly apply the newly acquired image analysis techniques.
