Dear Colleagues,
It's the beginning of the new year and it's time to plan your future
training opportunities!
We are excited to be offering the first, of what promises to be annual, Big
Data, Big Problems light-sheet workshop, held at Princeton University,
Princeton, NJ, USA. The course will run July 27-July 31, 2020.
Applications are due April 15, 2020. Apply through the course web site at
BigDataBigProblems.com.
Multi-dimensional live and fixed microscope data can be collected in so
many ways, and the various solutions seem to grow almost daily. There are
many courses that focus on general optical principals and the use of
conventional microscope platforms such as widefield fluorescence, confocal
and multiphoton imaging, but none that are specifically designed to
demystify rapidly evolving and increasingly prescient methods such as
light-sheet imaging. Ultimately this is the goal of this course, what is
light-sheet microscopy in all its flavors, what can you do with it, how do
you choose between platforms and once you have a system or are proficient
with a device what do you do with the data? This week long course brings
together experts in conventional optics, all aspects of light sheet
microscopy and image analysis to help you bring your light-sheet based
cellular, animal and large sample/cleared sample imaging to the next
level. From the syllabus you will see that we start out with principals
and choices and then move into specific systems instructed by both academic
and industry faculty. In fact, we have will have almost all the available
commercial solutions on site for you to use. We will provide samples, but
equally you are welcome to use your own. Our goal is that you will return
to your home institution fully capable to implement and use these truly
exciting new tools.
