Aims
----
Advances in microscopy and electronics have opened new windows for
viewing live cells. New tools like spectral confocal, two-photon, fast
scanning and deconvolution are making it possible to learn from
biological systems as never before.


Format & Date
-------------
The course will start on the 29th May at 3pm with a small reception
where you can pick up your course material. The work will be divided
into ~20 hours of theoretical classes and more than 20 hours of
practicals. 5 hours covering image processing will help you to
have nice pictures for the last group presentation. All this will be
done before distribution of prizes for the best Ice Breaker® and The
Farewell Dinner. More details on http://cwp.embo.org/pc09-24/tt2009.pdf
