This course provides a comprehensive introduction to state-of-the-art stereology, with a strong emphasis on practical application in biomedicine. Topics covered include experimental design, sampling strategies, the use of stereological probes, estimation of stereological parameters, and the application of statistical methods appropriate for stereological analyses.
The course combines lectures, classroom exercises using real biomedical images, and laboratory practicals that demonstrate proper sampling and tissue processing techniques on real biological organs.
The workshop is aimed at students and researchers in biology and medicine who work with the sampling and quantitative analysis of three-dimensional structures. Applications involving any form of microscopy — including light microscopy, confocal laser scanning microscopy, multiphoton microscopy, and electron microscopy — as well as non-invasive imaging techniques such as CT and MRI, are welcome.
Participants are encouraged to bring their own projects and specific questions. Ample time will be dedicated to individual discussions with the instructors throughout the course.
