ADVANCED TECHNIQUES IN LIVE

CELL MICROSCOPY

 October 22-25, 2007

University of Connecticut Health Center

 

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:

 

· confocal imaging

· total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF)

· 2-photon excited fluorescence microscopy

· fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS)

· fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET)

· second harmonic imaging microscopy (SHG)

· microinjection of fluorescence probes

· multidimensional image visualization and analysis

 

Equipment will iEquipment will include: Zeiss LSM 5Live with DUOSCAN laser manipulator, Zeiss TIRF system, Zeiss LSM510, Zeiss LSM510 Meta, Perkin Elmer spinning disk confocal microscope, Zeiss Confocor3 /LSM510NLO  

                       Combi system and homebuilt second harmonic imaging microscope.
