Time-Resolved Microscopy Course
12th International Course on “Time-resolved Microscopy and Correlation Spectroscopy”
February 18-20, 2020 in Berlin, Germany
Aim and purpose
The course is intended for individuals wishing an in-depth introduction to the principles of time-resolved fluorescence microscopy and its applications to the Life Sciences. Attendees are usually professionals who are using or intend to use fluorescence microscopy in their research. Most attendees have some knowledge of fluorescence, typically in a specialized area. However, other individuals from totally different research areas and from industry get the opportunity to enter this exciting field in a very effective way and benefit especially from the experimental section.
Practical sessions
Practical sessions on various instruments will be offered. A detailed overview will be published at a later date.
Practical sessions using confocal microscopes provided by several market leading companies are part of the course:
- Nikon: A1R_HD25
- Olympus: FluoView FV3000
- Scientifica: HyperScope
- Zeiss: LSM 980
- PicoQuant: MicroTime 200 STED with FLIMbee, MicroTime 100 combined with FluoTime 250
Participants will be divided into groups that rotate through the stations. This ensures that every participant will have the chance to familiarize himself with the broad range of techniques and methods of fluorescence (lifetime) microscopy.
Topics covered
Topics covered during the lectures and experimental station include:
- Instrumentation and data analysis
- Correlation methods: FCS, FCCS, FLCS, ...
- Imaging methods: FLIM, rapidFLIM, FRET, FLIM-FRET, ...
- 2Photon-FLIM
- STED super-resolution microscopy
- Single molecule microscopy
Important dates
Registration opening dates and deadlines will be published at a later date.
- Registration will open mid October 2019
- Deadline for early bird registration: November 22, 2019
- Deadline for fee waiver applications: November 22, 2019

Financial support
As in the previous years, PicoQuant will grant a fee waiver to a few participants from the university and academic sector of economically less privileged countries. Accommodation, travel and personal expenses still need to be paid by the participants themselves. The selection of sponsored people is completely the sole decision of PicoQuant and there is no right or guarantee to receive a fee waiver.
To apply for a waiver fee, please send us your application per e-mail. The application has to include the following:
- a letter of application
- a formal letter of recommendation from your department/institute
Deadline for a fee waiver application is November 22, 2019.
Please note that only one person per research group can be considered for a fee waiver.
Details on the fee waiver application process will be published at a later date.
The deadline to apply for a fee waiver has passed. We can no longer accept any fee waiver applications.
Course location
The 12th course will be held in the "Max-Born-Saal" at the science and technology park of Berlin-Adlershof, located in the south-eastern part of Berlin. The local area map below shows the course location (red marker).

Accommodation
We have negotiated special rates for a limited number of rooms in two hotels. The number of rooms and the booking time are limited and we therefore advise to reserve your room as soon as possible.
Details on booking accomodations will be published at a later date.
City Tax
Please note that since the beginning of the year 2014, tourists staying overnight in Berlin are subject to paying an accommodation tax, the so-called City Tax. It amounts to five percent of the room rate (net price), excluding VAT and fees for amenities and services such as mini-bar, sauna, or spa area. The City Tax does only affect private overnight stays and NOT business travellers. The business purpose of a trip can be verified by a bill that is paid by or issued to the employer, or a letter from the company. If the accommodation is booked by the employer in the first place, there is no further proof necessary.
