*Course on Optical Microscopy Imaging for Biosciences | 12th Edition*

*23-27 March 2020 | i3S, Porto*

The 12th edition of the Course on Optical Microscopy Imaging for
Biosciences offers to the participants a comprehensive light microscopy
course that explores the fundamentals of light microscopy and introduces
the state-of-art of advanced fluorescence microscopy techniques. The
course will flow from sample preparation to quantitative image analysis.
It will include theoretical lectures taught by specialists in the field
and hand-on practical modules supported by the major microscopy
companies where the participants will have the opportunity to take work
with high-end microscopy resources.

*Program Topics*

·Specimen preparation;

·Light proprieties and image formation;

·Optical contrast techniques in transmission light microscopy;

·Fluorescence microscopy techniques: wild-field, laser scanning
confocal, two-photon, TIRF and light-sheet; Live cell imaging;

·Analyzing biomolecular interactions and dynamics: FRET, FLIM, FRAP, PA, FC;

·Super-resolution microscopy;

·Quantitative image analysis.

*Target Audience: *The course is designed to master and Ph.D. students,
early career researchers plus all other people interested in acquiring
skills in optical microscopy.
