Please see information about our highly successful international 4-Day
Intensive Hands-On Course

Website: 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.

100% recommended from over 300 previous delegates to date (comments at
bottom of email)

6-9 September 2016, in the Bioscience Technology Facility, University of
York which is based in the friendly and historic city of York, which is one
of the UK's best tourist hot-spots.

Instructors will include

Peter O'Toole, University of York
Joanne Marrison, University of York
Chris Power, Carl Zeiss
Andrew Hubbard, Andor
and special guest lecture and practical session with Daniel Zicha (Crick).

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: Further advances. More samples to explore confocal limits, and time
for participants own samples.

Thursday evening will include a special guest speaker 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 510/710/780/880 on both an invert and upright microscopes, Andor
Revolution XD or 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.

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