*The 2014 QB3-UCSF Course in Biological Light Microscopy*

Hi All -

I am pleased to announce the third annual QB3-UCSF Course in Biological 
Light Microscopy.  This promises to be an exciting, information-rich 
course.  Please forward to your students and colleagues who might be 
interested in attending.

Thanks,
Kurt

**July 27 - August 2, 2014** (Note - the date has changed)

*Genentech Hall, UCSF Mission Bay*

*Directors: Bo Huang and Kurt Thorn*

  I am pleased to announce that we will once again be offering the 
QB3-UCSF Course in Biological Light Microscopy. Last year's course was a 
great success, and this year's promises to be even better. This course 
provides an intensive introduction to the theory and practice of light 
microscopy, beginning with optics and continuing to the latest 
super-resolution techniques.

  The course includes didactic lectures from a number of UCSF faculty in 
their areas of expertise and hands-on laboratory sessions with 
state-of-the-art microscopes.  Specific topics include: basic optics 
(build your own optical rail microscope); fourier optics; brightfield 
contrasting; fluorescence microscopy and probes; confocal microscopy; 
TIRF; two-photon, FRAP/FLIP/photoconversion; and super-resolution 
microscopy

Laboratory work and lectures will be held at the UCSF Mission Bay 
campus. Course tuition is $2,295, including lunch and dinner. Stipends 
for tuition are available.

Attendance limited to 24 students. *Please apply by May 1st, 2014.*

  For more information and to apply see the course webpage 
(http://nic.ucsf.edu/course/) or contact Kurt Thorn ([log in to unmask]).

Sponsors include QB3, Nikon, Technical Instruments, Photometrics, and 
Andor; for a full list see http://nic.ucsf.edu/course/industrial-sponsors/

Please forward to anyone who may be interested.

Sincerely,
Kurt Thorn
