The course will cover the following:

Day 1 Topics will include:
           Light Matter Interactions
          Simple lenses, transmitted light optical train, Köhler illumination
          Transmitted Light Contrasting Techniques: Dyes, Darkfield, Phase,
  Polarization, DIC
           Fixed Immuno-fluorescent Sample Preparation

Day 2 Topics will include:
            Digital Images, Resolution and Sampling Frequency
            Objective Lenses, Aberrations and Aberration Corrections
             Fluorescence, Fluorescence Dyes
           The Fluorescence Microscope  Optical Train
             Light Sources and Detectors

Day 3 Topics will include:

           Quantitative Imaging
           Live Cell Microscopy
           3D Imaging: Wide-field deconvolution
            confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM)
            spinning disk (SD-CM)
            structured illumination, multi-photon
            TIRF microscopy
            Co-localization and Spectral Unmixing

Lectures Only - $150 plus tax (includes course materials, coffee breaks, lunch)
Lecture and Hands-On - $250 plus tax (includes course materials,  
                                               coffee breaks, lunch,
