SUMMARY:Optical Microscopy & Imaging in the Biomedical Sciences
DESCRIPTION:Course Description\nThis course is designed primarily for research scientists\, postdoctoral trainees\, core facility directors/staff and graduate students working in the biological sciences. Biologists and physicists alike seeking a comprehensive introduction to microscopy and digital imaging will benefit greatly from the course. This 9-day course is limited to 24 students to ensure a truly interactive\, hands-on experience. It consists of interrelated lectures\, laboratory exercises\, demonstrations\, and discussions that will enable the participants to obtain and interpret high quality microscope data\, to understand and assess potential artifacts\, to perform quantitative optical measurements\, and to generate digital images for documentation and analysis that accurately present the data. Newly added this year\, the course will also place a strong emphasis on sample preparation\, including tissue clearing\, choice of fluorescent dyes and probes\, and expansion microscopy. Particular emphasis will be placed on ‘picking the right tool for the job’. \nTopics to be covered include: \n\nFundamental principles of microscope design\, image formation\, resolution and contrast;\nTransmitted light and fluorescence microscopy techniques;\nCameras\, signal to noise ratio\, digital image recording\, processing and analysis\, multispectral imaging;\nAdvanced fluorescence – fluorescent probes\, fluorescent biosensors\, TIRF\, FRET\, FLIM\, FRAP\, polarization of fluorescence\, fluorescence correlation spectroscopy;\nDigital image restoration/deconvolution\, and 3-D imaging principles;\nConfocal and multiphoton laser scanning microscopy and light-sheet microscopy;\nSuper-resolution techniques including localization microscopy\, stimulated emission depletion microscopy (STED)\, and structured illumination microscopy.\n\nStudents will have direct hands-on experience with state-of-the-art microscopes\, a variety of digital cameras\, and image processing software provided by major optical\, electronics\, and software companies. Instruction will be provided by experienced staff from universities and industry. Students are encouraged to bring their own biological specimens\, and to discuss individual research problems with the faculty. \n\n2018 Course Faculty & Lecturers\nAllen\, John (MBL/Nikon)\nBewersdorf\, Joerg (Yale University)\nBrunt\, Peter (AVR Optics)\nColeman\, Steven (VisiTech)\nDay\, Richard (Indiana University)\nDigman\, Michelle (University of California\, Irvine)\nElliott\, Amicia (NIH)\nFullerton\, Stephanie (Hamamatsu)\nGoodwin\, Paul (GE Healthcare)\nLa Riviere\, Patrick (University of Chicago)\nLavis\, Luke (Janelia Research Campus)\nLessard\, Mark (Yale University)\nLeung\, Jacqueline (Indiana University)\nMcCall\, Andrew (SUNY Buffalo)\nMcIlvain\, Jim (MBL/Zeiss)\nPalmer\, Amy (University of Colorado\, Boulder)\nMurphy\, Douglas (formerly Janelia Research Campus)\nNorth\, Alison (The Rockefeller University)\nRichardson\, Douglas (Harvard University)\nShaw\, Sidney (Indiana University)\nShroff\, Hari (NIH/NIBIB)\nVaughan\, Joshua (University of Washington\, Seattle)\nWinfree\, Seth (Indiana University) \n
