Hello Everyone,
The Harvard NeuroDiscovery Center Enhanced Neuroimaging Core will host its
first “Spring Virtual Microscopy Workshop” this month.
the detailed workshop information is below. I think people in the greater
Boston area may be interested.
the workshop is free, but requires RSVP.
Best
Lai
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
This workshop focuses on several most basic and popular topics in optical
imaging technology, including resolution limit, super-resolution, confocal
imaging and digital image processing.
Optical imaging is a very “hands-on” practice. Such “hands-on” requirement
greatly limits the capacity of workshops in this area. To overcome this
problem, the HNDC Enhanced Neuroimaging Core introduces its first “Spring
Virtual Microscopy Workshop”. Using remote control on multiple imaging
systems in our core, we can live demo the actual imaging process in the
classroom along with presentation to explain imaging principles. We call it
“eyes-on” practice, which can provide an interactive microscope imaging
environmental to a large number of participants.
This workshop features a mixture of theories, practical guidelines, imaging
tips and interesting historical stories. Whether you are new to optical
imaging or already have experiences, you may find this workshop helpful in
enhancing and expanding your knowledge on optical imaging technology.
This workshop is free, but requires registration. Please RVSP to Lai Ding
