Abstract Teaching the principles and practical aspects of light sheet microscopy to the new generation of scientists is paramount for realizing its potential impact on life sciences. In this chapter, we share our experiences on practical courses involving organizing EMBO-sponsored light sheet microscopy at MPI-CBG in Dresden. We describe the challenges and offer solutions for sample mounting, imaging, image analysis, and big data handling of light sheet microscopy. We also share our unique approach to teaching microscopy by performing real science on real samples in an intense course setting. We provide tips for creating an inclusive and productive atmosphere at these exhausting yet exhilarating events.
