Imaris in Focus: from Fundamentals to Advanced Image Analysis

Imaris is the leading platform for multidimensional microscopy image analysis, offering a reproducible and user-friendly solution for a wide range of life-science applications. Imaris helps researchers ensure their data is analyzed in a consistent and reproducible manner, making it ready for publication.

This workshop event has been designed to educate both new and existing Imaris users on how to make the most of their Imaris experience. We will start with an Introduction and Overview session, covering what kinds of analysis tools Imaris offers, how to navigate through the Imaris user interface, and a few example analysis workflows.

In the afternoon, we will offer three Focus Sessions where we will take a deeper dive into specific analysis applications. Our first focus session will cover how to display your data in Imaris. This session will review data visualization tools including Imaris Vantage, Animations and Snapshots, along with helpful tips for creating eye-catching figures.

Our second focus session will cover colocalization and spatial measurements including types of colocalization tools in Imaris, how to measure distance and overlap between structures, and how to choose which measurement is most appropriate for your research question.

Our third focus session will review common neuroscience applications including the Imaris Filament Tracer, how to use this tool for analysis of filamentous objects and spines, and considerations to take when analyzing these kinds of structures.

Registration is required for this event. Registrants will receive a link to the event a few days ahead of time. This event will be held virtually via Microsoft Teams.

This event is open to any researcher in the Philadelphia metro area. Current and future Imaris users of any level are welcome.

Please bear in mind that this event will be recorded and shared internally for use as a teaching resource.
