Hello,
This is a course announcement for the inaugural UBC 3D CLEM course to be held June 14-17, 2013 at the University of British Columbia.
Preliminary programme for the inaugral UBC 3D CLEM course, June 14-17, 2013
This course is designed for life science researchers/microscopists who are looking to learn 3D Correlative Microscopy. Our instructors will guide you with a series of lectures and practical demonstrations. We will introduce a sample (or two) at the beginning of the course and take that one sample through microCT, confocal/2P, dual beam FESEM and TEM tomography and into advanced 3D image processing. Sample preparation will include both chemical fixation as well as high pressure freezing.
Synopsis:
When: June 14-17, 2013
Where: UBC Bioimaging Facility and UBC Centre for High-Throughput Phenogenomics, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC. Canada
Support: Systems for Research (SFR), FEI Company, Edge Scientific, Leica Microsystems, Olympus Canada, TILL Photonics and VSG
Who: 10-12 students, preferably life sciences PhD students, Post docs, microscopy facility managers/directors
Course fee: $2500 CDN (subject to change) and will include 5 nights accommodation, breakfast, lunch and one dinner.
For more information contact Garnet Martens at
