Thankfully, *no change* in visa rules for the upcoming course.

Our highly successful international 4-Day Intensive Hands-On Course will
run again on 24-27 March 2020.

Website:
www.york.ac.uk/biology/technology-facility/imaging-cytometry/ic-courses/confocal-course/

Running for over 15 years, with over 400 delegates to date and with 100%
recommended feedback, the course is run in the Bioscience Technology
Facility, University of York which is based in the welcoming, friendly and
historic city of York.  York itself is  one of the UK's best tourist places
due to its Roman, Viking, Medieval and current importance with buildings,
streets and museums to match (see
https://www.visityork.org/members/about-us/award-winning-york).

The course includes many varied sample types that are used to best
illustrate various practical aspects
of confocal microscopy whilst also demonstrating a range of applications.

Tutorials and practical sessions will cover both basic and
advanced confocal microscopy. The course will enable participants to
realise the potential behind many developing confocal techniques and
realise the simplicity of applying the techniques to a broad range of
sample types and fluorescent labels. Both novice and more experienced users
welcome. This course is 100% recommended from previous course delegates and
comments can be seen below.

Preliminary Programme
DAY AIMS
Day 1: Basics, Familiarisation, x,y,z and multicolour imaging.
Day 2: Live-cell imaging with spinning disk confocal microscopy, FRAP on laser
scanning confocal.
Day 3: Advanced Techniques covering spectral unmixing and FRET with
fluorescent proteins.
Day 4: Super-resolution and other advances in confocal and associated
microscopy approaches. More samples to explore airy scanning
approaches and confocal limits,
and time for participants own samples.

Thursday evening will include a highlights talk on new developments
and course meal.

The course will utilise many different sample types ranging from cultured
monolayers to plant cells. A diverse range of fluorescent labels will also
be used, which will include various fluorescent proteins and classic
antibody labels. Over the four days, at least
four confocal microscopes (Zeiss LSM 710/780/880/980 Airyscan FAST on
both invert
and upright microscopes, and the Andor Dragonfly) will be utilised.

Accommodation (en-suite), breakfast and lunches will be provided for the
length of the course.  Evening meals will be provided on both Tuesday and
Thursday evenings.

Places are limited to 12 participants to permit full hands-on practice, so
please book early to avoid disappointment.
