ADVANCED TECHNIQUES IN LIVE CELL MICROSCOPY

 October 22-25, 2007

 

 

Advanced Techniques in Live Cell Microscopy is a four-day hands-on course in advanced fluorescence microscopy of living cells.  The course is designed for experienced microscopists and will consist of morning lectures followed by afternoon laboratory sessions on the microscopes. Eight microscopy workstations will be available for hands on experiments in:


· widefield fluorescence imaging

· confocal imaging

· total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF)

· 2-photon excited fluorescence microscopy

· fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS)

· second harmonic imaging microscopy (SHG)

· microinjection of fluorescence probes

· multidimensional image visualization and analysis

 

Instruments to be made available include: a Zeiss LSM 5Live with DUOSCAN laser manipulator, Zeiss TIRF system, Zeiss LSM 510 confocal system, Zeiss LSM510 Meta confocal system, Perkin Elmer spinning disk confocal microscope, Zeiss Confocor3 /LSM510NLO Combi system and homebuilt second harmonic imaging microscope.
