Dear Colleagues,

We are excited to announce this year's run of Analytical and Quantitative
Light Microscopy, held at the Marine Biological Laboratory, Woods Hole, MA,
USA. The course will run May 1- May 10, 2019.

Applications are due February 7, 2019.  Apply through the course web site at
http://www.mbl.edu/aqlm.

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 microscopes, confocal microscopes,
and new emerging technologies.

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, automated analysis, and machine learning;
- live cell and ratiometric imaging for FRET;
- confocal microscopy and specialized methods such as TIRF and FLIM;
- new advances in light microscopy such as PALM, STORM, SIM, and Light
Sheet.

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

Join us for AQLM (or recommend one of your lab members or core facility
users).

Applications are due February 7, 2019.  Apply through the course web site at

Course Directors:

Peter Kner, University of Georgia

Paul Maddox, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

Wendy Salmon, Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research

Course Laboratory Director:

Gary Laevsky, Princeton University

Happy Imaging!

Peter, Paul, Wendy and Gary
