Science in Your Lab
“UM TCSPC Fluorescence Workshop 2019”

Group Picture

Description

The University of Montana Bio Spectroscopy Core Research Laboratory, in association with PicoQuant, Zeiss and the UM's Center for Biomolecular Structure and Dynamics (CBSD), is presenting the 2019 UM Time-Correlated Single-Photon Counting (TCSPC) Fluorescence Workshop. This two-day workshop will feature lectures and workshop demonstrations from both academic and industrial professionals. This workshop is intended for individuals seeking a better understanding of fluorescence microscopy and spectroscopy and a crash course for those trying to implement fluorescence techniques in the lab. Lectures and workshops will be approachable for many scientific disciplines with varying backgrounds.
The workshop will cover the following topics:

• Fluorescence basics, including discussions on microscopes, lasers and fluorophores
• Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS)
• Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging (FLIM)
• Total internal reflection fluorescence  (TIRF)
• Fluorescence anisotropy.

PicoQuant has a long and successful history and is well known for devleoping and manufacturing various components for time-resolved measurements, such as picosecond pulsed laser and timing electronic with resolutions ranging from ps to ms. With the integration of this deep knowledge and the aim to go always one step further we develop new great instrumentation for time-resolved spectroscopy and microscopy.

This workshop is free to participants. Registration will be capped at the first 40 registrants. Attendees will be responsible for their own travel and lodging (please find some further information regarding your visit here)
