Advanced 3D image visualization and quantification 2026

Basic information

This course introduces participants to the fundamentals of volumetric and time-lapse microscopy data processing, with a focus on visualization, segmentation, and quantitative analysis. The first day offers a hands-on introduction to Imaris, covering its core modules (Spots, Surfaces, and Filaments). The second day builds on this and includes a broader discussion on big data challenges, alternative 3D processing tools in ImageJ/Fiji, and options for data storage, sharing, and reuse (FAIR data).

Date: May 28-29, 2026
Duration: 2 days
Language: English
Requirements: bring your own laptop

The course is organized in hybrid form and it is possible to join either in-person or online.

Target audience

Imaris is the main software used, and the course is designed to provide a comprehensive overview of its capabilities. As such, it is primarily aimed at participants with no or limited experience. However, advanced features and exercises will also be included to benefit those already familiar with the software.
