Zeiss Apotome open house (April 10 2025)

Carl Zeiss Inc and the RII Imaging Cores Optical invite you to the Apotome Open House on April 10, 2025. The Zeiss Axio Observer 7 with Apotome III is a relatively new instrument located in the Life Sciences North building. The microscope combines the capability of capturing multi-channel fluorescence images in either widefield mode or as crisp optical sections, much like a confocal microscope. In addition, the microscope can capture color brightfield and polarized light images. The easy to use AI sample finder function makes tile scanning of unstained tissue sections simple to set up.

Schedule

  • 10:00am-10:30am - a short presentation (in LSN 452) by Brandon Chechile on the capabilities of the instrument
  • 11:00am-4:00pm - reserve time to see a free hands-on demonstration of the microscope with your samples (in LSN 429)

To reserve time, please contact Brandon Chechile Brandon.Chechile@zeiss.com (Zeiss account manager for Southern AZ)

If you have questions about the Apotome or the RII Imaging Cores - Optical, please reach out to Doug Cromey at 520-626-2824 or dcromey@arizona.edu 

Access to the LSN building requires a pre-authorized CatCard. We recommend coming to the south elevator of LSN (on the medical plaza, near the College of Nursing) and calling Doug at 520-626-2824 to be let in. Sorry for that extra step.
