QFM 2k09
Locked
|
Folks, we would like to announce that
enrollment for Quantitative Fluorescence Microscopy 2k09 at the Mount Desert
Island Marine Laboratory in Maine is now open. The tremendous success of
the course over the last several years has encouraged us to run it again next
year, and as it is December it is time to start our enrollment. This is an intensive lab/lecture course,
focusing on fluorescence microscopy in all its forms, including widefield,
Confocal, Multiphoton, Decon, TIRF, FRET etc, though with an emphasis on live
cell methods. We also encourage students to provide their
own specimens such that the hands on components of the course are as enriching
as possible (in fact last year at one point, the technical help were growing 64
different cell lines for our students). Enrollment is highly competitive, so if you
think that you or your colleagues would benefit from the course please enroll
as soon as possible. As the course is moving into its second
decade, we have decided to make a couple of significant changes to the
enrollment process: 1: Perhaps the most important is that Alumni
are eligible to return. Because we made sweeping changes in the
curriculum and faculty last year, and all aspects of imaging have
advanced enormously since we started the course we feel it is time to allow
past students to take the course again. So... alumni... you
are welcome to return to the course. Please point out that you are an
alumnus in the application (it won't affect eligibility). 2: The second big change which has been
driven by a common student request that we have rolling admissions.
We have decided to act on this. Our first student group will be accepted late
this month, then February and the final group in April. There are no particular
quotas for each block, rather students should have good projects that suit the
flavor and goals of the course. The dates for course are from Saturday May
30th 2009 to the following Friday (June 5th) . The url for the course is http://www.cbi.pitt.edu/qfm/index.html If you have any questions dont hesitate to
contact me directly Simon Simon C.

Hi List,
We are interestd
in looking at SPIM (Single Plane Illumination Microscopy) to image zebra fish (and other
tissues) in our intitute. I am assuming that there is no comercial SPIM system
available. But has anyone out there built their own SPIM system? If so i
would love to hear from you.
Cheers
