Electron tomography is a 3D-imaging technique with a resolution range bridging the gap between optical imaging and single particles 3DEM techniques.

The participants will be introduced to the required specimen preparation steps for high-resolution electron tomography. Techniques that will be discussed include cryofixation, freeze-substitution and cryosectioning.
Different approaches and software packages will be used to acquire (dual-axis) tomographic tilt-series and to align tilt series.
Visualization of acquired tomograms will also be discussed and practiced. Throughout the course lectures will be given by experts in the field together with practicals on all covered aspects.
We invite PhD students and post-doctoral fellows with a life sciences background interested in 3D imaging of biological specimens, such as tissue, cells, organelles and macromolecular complexes to participate in the course. We look forward to seeing you in Leiden The Organizers |
