NSCPHD1247 Advanced Live Cell Imaging

Volume 2014/2015
Content

 

Subject area

This summer course for experienced microscopists comprises theory and hands-on time with the most advanced techniques in microscopy today, such as fluorescence lifetime imaging, super resolution, high throughput imaging, live cell imaging, and spectral imaging.

Scientific content

Theory of and hands-on experience with fluorescence microscopy techniques such as bimolecular fluorescence complementation, super-resolution and spinning-disc microscopy, fluorescence lifetime imaging, high-throughput microscopy-based screening, and image analysis and data management.

Experimental considerations such relating to cell physiology and phototoxicity during live-cell imaging will be taught and discussed.

Learning Outcome

Participants will learn the theory behind advanced microscopy techniques and how to utilize their full potential from internationally outstanding experts that will be part of the course. It will be possible for the students to bring their own specimens.

The course will enable the participants to design bioimaging experiments for their own PhD project.

Participants are furthermore required to give short presentations of their research on the first day of the course and, after the course, to write a report that includes theory and results from one of the microscopic techniques.
