The Light Microscopy and Confocal Microscopy Courses from the Royal Microscopical 
Society are now open for registration.

These well-regarded annual courses are popular each year and are often fully-booked in 
advance so reserve your space today.
RMS Light Microscopy Summer School
4-6 July, University of York
www.rms.org.uk/lmschool
The Light Microscopy summer school is an annual, residential three day course held at the 
University of York covering the principles of light microscopy. Participants are also 
trained in practical issues surrounding light microscopy. After introductory presentations, 
the course is taught predominantly through hands-on practical sessions.
The course is suitable for both novices and more experienced users wanting to gain a 
greater understanding of the microscope and feedback every year is always fantastic. 
Students come from a range of backgrounds within both research and commercial 
organisations. All have benefited greatly from the Course and leave with increased 
understanding and skills
Getting the Most from your Confocal
7-8 July, University of York
www.rms.org.uk/confocal
This Course utilises many different sample types and fluorescent probes (DNA stains, 
classic antibody labels and fluorescent proteins) and these are chosen to best 
demonstrate particular problems and techniques. Focus is on the techniques they enable 
and the problems they generate, which will be applicable to any sample types.
The two days consist of short tutorials followed by hands-on practice:
Day 1 takes participants through the basic principles of confocal microscopy and then 
trains through hands-on practice how to configure and image multicolour, 
multidimensional samples using a confocal microscope.
Day 2 builds on the experiences of day 1 and enables participants to try FRAP and 
spectral profiling.
