Extending your ZEISS Axio Observer LSM 9 Series System: What a Lightfield 4D Upgrade Can Do for Your Research

Modern life science research demands both fast dynamic imaging and higher throughput for complex 3D models such as organoids. The ZEISS Lightfield 4D upgrade for ZEISS Axio Observer-based LSM 9 Seriesadds an integrated light-field detection path that captures volumetric information in a single acquisition. This enables high-speed 4D imaging and more efficient 3D screening workflows with reduced sample exposure. In this webinar, you will learn how Lightfield 4D extends the capabilities of your existing confocal system, how it compares to conventional 3D and time-lapse modes, and where it can add value, from live-cell dynamics to high-content organoid studies. The session will also cover the practical aspects of upgrading, including required hardware and software, workflow integration in ZEN, data and storage considerations, and typical installation timelines, so you can clearly evaluate what a Lightfield 4D upgrade would mean for your research and your facility.

▷  Understand the core imaging principle of ZEISS Lightfield 4D and how it complements existing confocal modes on LSM 9 Series systems.  

▷  See how Lightfield 4D can enable faster 3D time-lapse imaging while helping to reduce photobleaching and phototoxicity in sensitive samples.  

▷  Discover how Lightfield 4D can increase throughput for applications such as organoid assays, 3D cell cultures, and tissue models.  

▷  Explore typical application scenarios, including live-cell dynamics, developmental biology, and high-content 3D measurements. 

▷  Learn what an upgrade involves in practice, including key hardware and software components, integration into ZEN workflows, and expected installation steps. 

▷  Take away clear criteria to assess whether a Lightfield 4D upgrade is the right next step for your system, your users, and your research goals.  

Dr. Kalliopi Arkoudi has a Master’s degree in Neuroscience from King’s College London (KCL), where she worked for three years on the characterization of interneurons in the zebrafish brain using confocal microscopy. She completed her Ph.D. in Inflammation and Regenerative Medicine in KCL, where she used various microscopy techniques including multiphoton imaging, FLIM, and FRET to study the importance of inflammatory pathways in the response of macrophages to injury. In 2020 Dr. Kalliopi Arkoudi joined ZEISS Microscopy where she uses her expertise in the development of high-end imaging applications for confocal microscopy and supports and trains researchers utilizing 3D/4D and high end widefield microscope systems.
