4th ABiS Advanced Light Microscopy Course at OIST

Description

During this course you will gain insights on the latest development of state-of-the-art imaging technologies and sample preparation for the 3D visualization of biological samples.

The course will cover advanced light microscopy techniques, and in particular attention (theory and practice) will be given to application of light-sheet microscopy, and clearing methods. 

The course is open to all scientists (postdoc, technician, PhD student) who are interested to broaden their knowledge and skills on light microscopy. Therefore, participants should have minimum knowledge on fluorescent light microscopy to attend.
