Dear Listers:

Just a reminder about this year's run of Analytical and Quantitative Light
Microscopy, held at the Marine Biological Laboratory, Woods Hole, MA, USA.
The course will run May 1-10, 2013.

AQLM is a comprehensive and intensive course in light microscopy for
researchers in biology, medicine, and material sciences. This course
provides a systematic and in-depth examination of the theory of image
formation and application of video and digital methods for exploring subtle
interactions between light and the specimen. This course emphasizes the
quantitative issues that are critical to the proper interpretation of
images obtained with modern wide-field and confocal microscopes.

Laboratory exercises, demonstrations, and discussions include: (1)
geometrical and physical optics of microscope image formation including
Abbe's theory of the microscope and Fourier optics; (2) interaction of
light and matter; (3) phase contrast polarization and interference
microscopy for the nondestructive analysis of molecular and fine-structural
organization in living cells; (4) fluorescence microscopy, quantification
of fluorescence, and GFP; (5) principles and application of digital video
imaging, recording, analysis, and display; (6) digital image processing and
quantitative digital image deconvolution; (7) ratiometric measurement of
intracellular ion concentrations; (8) confocal microscopy; and (9) new
advances in light microscopy such as FRET, FLIM, TIRF, FCS, PALM, STORM and
SIM.

Within the course, we often refer to AQLM as "Microscopy Boot Camp".  It's
intense, it's hardcore, but it's really fun.

Why not join us for AQLM?  You'll never forget it.

Applications due January 21, 2013.

Directors: Greenfield Sluder, University of Massachusetts Medical Center,
Worcester
Jason Swedlow, University of Dundee
Jagesh Shah, Harvard Medical School
Justin Taraska, National Institutes of Health

Cheers,

Jason
