Dear all,
We would like to announce the 5th edition of the EMBO practical course on "3D
Developmental Imaging" which will take place in Portugal at the Gulbenkian Institute of
Science, July 1st-9th 2016.
This year we have an exciting programme with several experts on 3D imaging of embryos,
covering techniques such as confocal, multiphoton microscopy, microCT&MRI, light-sheet
and optical tomography.
More details here:

http://events.embo.org/16-developmental-imaging/16-developmental-imaging.pdfApplication deadline: May 10th!
IMPORTANT: The registration fee covers all local expenses including local transportation,
meals and hotel. Selected students only need to pay travel to and from Portugal +
registration fee! A limited number of travel grants are available for participants from
Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Greece, Hungary, India, Italy, Malta, Poland, Portugal,
Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Singapore, South Africa, Taiwan and Turkey, India, Singapore,
Africa, Asia (excluding Japan, and Korea), South and Central America, Albania, Armenia,
Azerbaijan, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Georgia, Kazakhstan,
Kosovo, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, Moldova, Montenegro, Romania, Russian
Federation, Serbia and Ukraine.
There is a limit of 16 students, and we are looking for candidates who have a real need to
do 3D imaging with embryos (any species, any stage)! Candidates should prepare a small
explanation of what they would like to do during the course, and what samples they plan to
bring, and why 3D imaging of embryos is essential for their research. Typically we are
looking for graduate students & post-docs (but not exclusively) who have already begun
imaging embryos with (at least) a confocal microscope, and have run into limitations.
The course includes lectures and practical sessions, all in a very informal environment,
where the main goal is to exchange ideas and test imaging strategies. Students are highly
encouraged to bring their own samples (both live and fixed embryos), to use in the practical
sessions and try them with the available systems:
3 laser scanning confocals,
1 multi-photon,
3 spinning disks,
2 high-throughput widefield scopes,
4 light-sheet systems (OpenSpin, Zeiss Z1, Lavision's Ultramicroscope, and Leica's DLS),
2 optical tomography mesoscopes (OPenT),
and more...
We will also cover 3D image reconstruction and analysis with ImageJ/FIJI, Bitplane's Imaris,
SVI Huygens and others.
There are no poster sessions, but at the end students are asked to present their results.
Please feel free to publicize this announcement
