*The 2013 QB3-UCSF Course in Biological Light Microscopy*
Hi All -
We still have positions available for the 2nd Annual QB3-UCSF Course in
Biological Light Microscopy. This promises to be an exciting,
information-rich course. Please forward to your students and colleagues
who might be interested in attending.
Thanks,

*Genentech Hall, UCSF Mission Bay*
*Directors: Bo Huang and Kurt Thorn*
I am pleased to announce that we will once again be offering the
QB3-UCSF Course in Biological Light Microscopy. Last year's course was a
great success, and this year's promises to be even better. This course
provides an intensive introduction to the theory and practice of light
microscopy, beginning with optics and continuing to the latest
super-resolution techniques.
The course includes didactic lectures from a number of UCSF faculty in
their areas of expertise and hands-on laboratory sessions with
state-of-the-art microscopes. Specific topics include: brightfield
contrasting; fluorescence microscopy and probes; confocal microscopy;
TIRF; two-photon, FRAP/FLIP/photoconversion; and super-resolution
microscopy
Laboratory work and lectures will be held at the UCSF Mission Bay
campus. Course tuition is $2,295, including lunch, dinner and
transportation to and from the host hotel daily. Stipends for tuition
are available.
Attendance limited to 24 students. *Please apply by January 15, 2013.*
