Online Course
Basics in Light Microscopy
25-28 October 2021
Description
This course will provide a solid understanding of the fundamental principles of light microscopy for cellular and developmental biology researchers. Through a series of interactive tutorials, trainees will be exposed to the photophysical, spectroscopic and optical background to optical microscopy, as well as instrumental and biological sample preparation considerations. Emphasis will be placed on bioimaging technologies available at FCUL: transmission, epifluorescence and confocal fluorescence microscopies. At the end of the course a short overview of advanced light microscopy technologies will be presented. This course is targeted to young researchers who use or intend to use light microscopy as part of research projects, especially MsC, PhD students and post-docs who did not have formal introduction to microscopy as part of their academic training.
