 Please see information about our highly successful international 4-Day
 Intensive Hands-On Course. (15 years, over 350 delegates with 100%
recommended feedback and recent comments at foot of email)

The course will run from the 4-7 September 2018, in the
Bioscience Technology Facility, York, UK

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

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 (CFP, GFP and YFP)
and classic antibody labels. Over the four days, at least four confocal
microscopes (Zeiss LSM 710/780/880 Airyscan FAST on both an invert and
upright microscopes, 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.

The University of York 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.

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

Previous delegate comments:

'Thank you again for hosting me at your Confocal Course last month. I was
extremely impressed with the amount of content we got through in 4 days,
and I really enjoyed the social events you and your team had setup for us.
This course has already helped me conceptualize some additions to my work
imaging skeletal muscle. I have been sharing my experiences with colleagues
and students here in California, and hopefully some of my friends will join
you at upcoming events.' Jimmy Bagley, San Francisco State University

"I really appreciated very much what all of you did last week.  It was
probably the best course I've ever been to."

"This was an awesome course covering all the basics and advanced confocal
 techniques"

"I will definitely recommend all our confocal users to do this course"

"Well delivered - fantastic course - helped me understand techniques and
theoretical principles which had previously given me a headache! Thank you"

"Tutors were excellent.  Very nice, helpful and knowledgeable.  One of the
most enjoyable courses I have been on"

"Small group work meant I had an opportunity to ask specific questions and
get a detailed answer"

"Most brilliant time I have had on a course!"

We have just had a couple of places become free for the upcoming course
below. It is an immersive but fun 4 days with extensive hands-on time.
