Course introduction Bioimaging plays an important role in modern biosciences not only as a tool for research but also as a means to improve medical treatments. The main objective of this course is to provide the theoretical basis of bioimaging together with some “hands on” laboratory practice. The goal of the course is to teach the students general principles of fluorescence and light microscopy as well as to demonstrate principles behind advanced fluorescence and imaging techniques as well as a…

Light microscopy two-day crash course January 2019 - 22 & 23rd from 9.00 to 16.30 This condensed course is aimed at everybody, who wants to understand the basic principles of optics and fluorescence in microscopy. Theoretical lectures are followed by practicals. The course will cover: Basic Principles of microscopy Optics of the microscope Diffraction, Resolution and Contrast Fluorescence and Confocal Microscopy Fluorescence microscopy (fluorophores, illumination…) Basic Confocal microscopy (lasers, multi-dimensional image acquisition, live imaging …) Details Next course: January 2019 Minimum / Maximum…

The 3 day workshop organized in collaboration with Leica Microsystems is meant for people that do not have experience with standard preparation techniques for transmission electron microscopy. This workshop is primarily practical in nature, although some topics will be dealt with in lectures. The entire procedure from (live) specimen till stained ultrathin resin section will be covered from start to finish. If you participate most of the time will be spent in the lab working with standard specimens like cultured…

The 4 day workshop is organized in collaboration with Leica Microsystems and is meant for people that do not have experience with the Tokuyasu technique. Experience in resin sectioning is not necessary, but is definitely an advantage. The workshop is primarily practical in nature, although some topics will be dealt with in lectures. The entire procedure from (live) specimen till immuno-labeled ultrathin section will be covered from start to finish. Most of the time will be spent in the lab…

The 16th Advanced Optical Microscopy for Cell Biology Course will take place 27th March – 6th April 2019, at the Marine Biology Association in Plymouth, UK Covering many aspects of microscope from the basics of setting up a microscope to advanced techniques. practicals will cover advanced techniques including confocal, lightsheet, cameras for microscopy, TIRF, Multi-Photon, super resolution microscopy and many other techniques. Also, there will be 2 to 3 lectures every day covering all aspects for microscopy for cell biology.…

Introduction:  An intensive, hands-on, four-day training course in the rapidly developing techniques of confocal microscopy. I really appreciated very much what all of you did last week.  It was probably the best course I've ever been to. The course will initially cover basic confocal but then swiftly move on to the more advanced techniques such as FRAP, FRET and spectral unmixing. Over the four days, all participants will have used four different confocal set-ups; Zeiss LSM880 Airyscan FAST, LSM780 MP and LSM…

Registration is not yet open for this event. If you are interested in receiving more information please register your interest. Course Overview This course will teach theory and practice for high-accuracy correlative light and electron microscopy. Students will learn high-accuracy CLEM on resin embedded samples using SEM approaches (Peddie et al. 2014) as well as using TEM according to the procedures developed in the Briggs group at EMBL (Kukulski et al. 2011). The course will also cover the extension of…
