Microscopy course
7th European short course on
"Time-Resolved Microscopy and Correlation Spectroscopy"
February 24-26, 2015 in Berlin, Germany
Summary
This year's course was the seventh in its series and was considered as an inspiring event by all participants. With 46 people from universities and industry, the course was fully booked. Six lectures were given. For the first time, the course included 6 hands-on experiment sessions with all major microscopy companies: Leica, Nikon, Olympus, PicoQuant, Zeiss. The sessions covered different methods and procedures in (time-resolved) fluorescence microscopy such as FLIM, FLIM-FRET, FCS (auto- and cross correlation), FLCS, single molecule spectroscopy, and STED super-resolution microscopy.
Aims 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 typically 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 industry, get the opportunity to enter this exciting field in a very effective way and benefit especially from the experimental section.
Hands-on instrumentation
The following companies provided hands-on experiments during the course:
- Leica
- Nikon
- Olympus
- PicoQuant
