This course will introduce to all important modalities of advanced biological and biomedical imaging using photons, electrons, X-rays and neutrons, available in the Øresund region in core facilities and at synchrotron and linear accelerators (MAX IV and ESS). These modalities offer a wide zoom range and the resolution power to resolve the substructure of molecules, cells, tissues, organs and whole bodies. The course is relevant for PhD students within biological, chemical, physical, medical, molecular and pharmaceutical sciences and will be…

Course Overview Light microscopy is the most widely used form of microscopy for life science research. The correct handling of the microscope and optimising image quality (e.g. contrast, resolution) as well as experimental design according to different applications are crucial to obtain the best results. This course will provide the participants with an overview about the basics of microscopy (light and optics, contrast techniques and imaging). The confocal part will include multicolor, 3D- and time lapse imaging as well as…

This course is an introduction to image processing and analysis, with a focus on biologically relevant examples. The attendees will learn the fundamentals of image analysis including how to do basic Macro programming in Fiji (ImageJ) for automated batch analysis of images, use different software solutions for image analysis, and will be introduced to visualisation and explorative data analysis after extraction of numerical data from images. Details Next course: 11th- 15th of June 2018 Max number of participants: 20 Registration fee is 2500DKK…

Modern EM allows structure-function analysis by combining multidisciplinary approaches with physiological, genetic and biochemical data. Current advances in EM are wide ranging and focus on improving resolution, efficient 3D imaging, molecular mapping, correlative imaging and quantitation. Together they combine to make this approach amongst the most popular in biology. This EMBO Practical Course will provide the students with competence in a wide range of techniques, and then to learn how to integrate these effectively with other approaches in cell biology.…

The objective of this School is to advance the field of nanoscale optical microscopy operating at the scale of nanometres to tens of nanometres, through the exchange of information, ideas, and innovative techniques. The understanding of methods and techniques has the great potential of allowing, in the near future, for the design and performance of new exciting experiments in Biophysics, Optics and Photonics. Lessons will be held in the magnificent Palazzo Loredan, Venice.   Fees We have only 35 seats with lodging plus 10…

the 2018 Core Facility Management Course will mark the first course organised by the German BioImaging network successor; GerBI-GMB - The Society for Microscopy and Image Analysis. The concept of core facilities, central hubs for demanding technical and analytics services, is rapidly changing how science is carried out at many research institutions. Core facility managers, often academically trained scientists, find themselves in a variety of different roles that demand a broad set of skills they traditionally haven’t been taught in their…

About the School This one-week school provides a hands-on introduction to image processing and analysis, with an emphasis on biologically relevant examples Is this school for you? Are you a life-science researcher with a pressing need to quantify your light-microscopy images? Are you uncertain about how to: Best calculate co-localisation, do deconvolution, automate the counting of cells, track objects over time, handle massive amounts of image data, record your image-analysis work-flows in a reproducible manner? If you answered yes to…

the 10th edition of the "Computer Optimized Microscopy" course will be held from 25th to 29th of June in Barcelona. This is an intensive 5-day image analysis course mainly based on FIJI.It extends from a general view of the image processing basics to the analysis of specific optical microscopy techniques such as FRET and FRAP. Moreover the course will also provide some macro programming tools to automatize the image analysis process. Registration deadline is May, 27th. Please visit the website…
