Workshop
Learn Live-cell Imaging with CrestOptics and Spirochrome!
Charles Perkins Centre, University of Sydney
Friday 6th February 2026
9:00am - 5:00pm
Want to progress with live-cell imaging? Want to try the latest technology in live-cell imaging fluorescent probes? Learn tips and tricks for live-cell imaging with fast, gentle confocal imaging with CrestOptics spinning disk microscopy. Live-cell imaging datasets will be analysed with Image-Pro AI to demonstrate common live-cell imaging analysis tasks. Then, purchase your own mini-set of Spirochrome live-cell imaging probes for a discount to take back and try in your lab, on your cells!

Instruments/Software This workshop will be performed on a CrestOptics V3 Spinning Disk with Oko-labs live-cell incubation. Live-cell samples with various Spirochrome probes will be used to demonstrate live-cell imaging techniques to attendees. At the completion of the course, attendees will be able to purchase their own trial pack of selected Spirochrome live-cell probes at a substantial discount - allowing attendees to apply the lessons they have learned to their own samples and projects. After data acquisition, Image-Pro AI will be used for image analysis.
