Dear Fellow Light Microscopy
OCD<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obsessive%E2%80%93compulsive_disorder>Sufferers,

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 April 30 - May 9, 2014.

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 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:

   -

   geometrical and physical optics of microscope image formation including
   Abbe's theory of the microscope and Fourier optics;
   -

   phase contrast, polarization and interference microscopy;
   -

   fluorescence microscopy, quantification of fluorescence, and fluorescent
   proteins;
   -

   principles and application of digital imaging and quantitative digital
   image deconvolution;
   -

   digital image processing and object identification and tracking;
   -

   live cell and ratiometric imaging for FRET and ion concentration
   imaging;
   -

   confocal microscopy and specialized methods such as TIRF and FLIM; and
   -

   new advances in light microscopy such as FCS, PALM, STORM, SIM and SPIM.

There's also a course

Within the course, we often refer to AQLM as "Microscopy Boot Camp".  It's
intense, it's hardcore, and it's really fun. We cover every topic with a
lecture and an in-depth hands-on lab.

Why not join us for AQLM (or recommend one of your lab members or core
facility users)?  You'll never forget it.


*Applications due January 22, 2014.*

Directors: Jagesh Shah (Harvard Medical School), Jason Swedlow (University
of Dundee), Justin Taraska (National Institutes of Health)

Course Laboratory Director: Wendy Salmon (Whitehead Institute/MIT)

Cheers,

Jason, Jagesh, Justin and Wendy
