Target group
Users of fluorescence microscopes

Prior skills required
Basic skills in light microscopy (e.g., Course on "The Basics of Microscopy")

Fluorescence microscopy is rapidly gaining ground in many fields. Did you know that it was invented at Carl Zeiss? Whether you have never used a fluorescence microscope before, want to put your equipment to extended use, or get added information out of your specimens, this course is made for you.

You will be taught how to set up your fluorescence microscope best, and how to get optimum results without damaging your specimens. You will be able to select the right set of filters, out of many, for your application. You will learn how to replace the fluorescence lamp and to adjust the illumination.
  • Principles of fluorescence microscopy and design of the fluorescence microscope
