About the Practical Course

 

The major objective of the course is to teach topics in basic and advanced microscopy to Ph. D students/Post-docs
with research interests in cell and developmental biology.

Of particular focus for the course are: quantitative fluorescence methods,  the F-techniques and modes of imaging in 3-D.

 

 
Topics will include:
 

•

Basic, widefield, and confocal microscopy (line scanning as well as spinning disc)

 

•

3-D imaging

 

•

Selective plane illumination microscopy (SPIM)

  

•

Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy (FCS)

  

•

Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy (FLIM)

  

•

Fluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching (FRAP)

  

•

The application of these techniques to detect protein-protein interactions by Forster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET).

  
Also featured in the course are the application of these imaging techniques to model cell and  developmental biology systems;
Mammalian cells, Yeast, Zebrafish and Drosophila.
