Teledyne Photometrics Camera Course
Teledyne Photometrics is a committed educator and has historically given camera courses to microscopy users, imaging facility leads and application and salespeople worldwide.
You can join one of our two-day camera training courses in locations around the world – in Europe, North America and Asia.
Learn
- How to use your camera correctly
- The inner workings of scientific camera technology
- Advantages and disadvantages of different camera types
- The latest advances in camera technology
Practice
- Hands-on sessions using the latest camera technology
- Control cameras using varied imaging software
- Compare cameras head-to-head to evaluate camera qualities and equipment
“The course absolutely helped me understand the most fundamental and important aspects of scientific imaging. Understanding Nyquist allows me to choose objective lens and cameras reasonably, and put FOV into my consideration during imaging!”

“It was an interesting and fruitful time participating in this camera course. The theoretical basics were presented in a well-thought-out manner and were deepened in the practical course, which is for me very important. I think every scientific user of a camera should apply to this course since it helps understanding what your devices do and therefore can improve your experiments drastically.”

“I’m a cell biologist and have been doing imaging regularly for many years. The two day Teledyne Photometrics camera course was really useful for me to better understand how my images are generated and what the quantifiable values mean. It also helped me become familiar with features of microscopy imaging that would have otherwise remained incomprehensible jargon.”
Angika Basant

“It was very useful and I didn’t know there were so many things to learn about cameras; I think any scientist dealing with digital imaging should attend a course like this.”
Alessandro Ciccarelli, Light Sheet Specialist
