The aim of the workshop is to teach both theoretical and practical aspect of current optical microscopy techniques for young life sciences researchers. The workshop consists of both theory lectures (morning) and practical sessions (afternoon). The selected applicants (25) will be divided into 5 different groups, each group will choose or will be assigned a mini-imaging-project to work on, so that the recently-acquired-knowledge can be practiced and revised. There will be an oral presentation session on the mini-projects at the end of the workshop.
 
Location: University of Oslo, Blindern and Radium Hospital, Oslo
 
Workshop Dates: 24-27 April 2018
 
Topics to be covered：Widefield contrasting techniques, Point scanning/Spinning disk confocal, Super-resolution microscopy (SIM, SMLM, Rescan, STED), SPIM, F-tecniques (FRET/FRAP/FLIM), Non-linear microscopy, CLEM principle, Interferometry, Fluorescence & Dyes, Sample preparation, Basic image processing and Aberrations & Artifacts.
