Speak fluent microscopy, part 2 🔬🎓

This post explains 6 and more microscopy terms from everyday imaging workflows, from exposure time and contrast to DIC, depth of field, and objective vs. eyepiece.

💬 What should we add to part 3?

A tiny plant, a role in the bigger food picture.🌱 This Arabidopsis thaliana flower was fixed in buffered aldehydes, contrasted with osmium tetroxide, embedded in agarose and imaged using ZEISS VersaXRM 5 Insight. Sample courtesy of Dr. Keith Duncan, @DanforthCenter #WorldFoodDay

On #WorldSepsisDay, let's look closer at the cellular landscape of sepsis research. This SEM image captures red and white blood cells on a layer of platelets in separated blood. The study investigates how human blood reacts to sepsis. Image: Dr Chantelle Venter, @StellenboschUni

From live-cell dynamics to molecular-scale insights, from larger imaging volumes to multi-well plate experiments, ZEISS Lattice Lightsheet 7 now supports an even wider application space.
👉 Discover what's new in ZEISS Lattice Lightsheet 7 in this video.

Artist-researcher Julie Askew uses ZEISS Stemi 305 to turn dried water-drop residue into intricate patterns. And those patterns can point to contaminants and water quality, from wetlands to glacier melt.

Think ticks are insects? Look closer. 🕷️ Ticks are arachnids with 8 legs as adults. These ZEISS Primostar 3 and ZEISS EVO SEM images reveal their cuticle, mouthparts, and sensory structures in stunning detail. 🔬 Which fact surprised you most? #TickSeason

What makes CAR-T cell therapy production efficient and reliable? The ProCell machine by Optima pharma with Heidelberg University Hospital and Bosch Health Campus integrates the ZEISS Axio Observer microscope to ensure precision in CAR-T cell manufacturing: zeiss.ly/x_optima_pharm…

Not every sample has to be dried and coated.

Variable-pressure SEM on ZEISS EVO lets you image moist, uncoated surfaces – keeping samples close to their natural state.

What sample would you image without drying or coating? Share your ideas!
