Hi Bertrand,
We need to get the Image J course on the map before somebody else thinks of it!
Best,
Patrizia
>CONFOCAL MICROSCOPY
>
>4-Day Intensive Hands-On Course
>
>Website: www.york.ac.uk/depts/biol/tf/imaging_course.htm
>
>Basics, Live-cell imaging, FRET, FRAP and Spectral Unmixing
>
>20-23 April 2010
>Technology Facility, Dept. Biology
>University of York, UK
>
>Instructors will include
>
>Peter O'Toole, University of York
>Jo Marrison, University of York
>Les Borland, Carl Zeiss
>Colin Hornby, Perkin Elmer
>and special guest lecture and practical session with Daniel Zicha (CRUK).
>
>Tutorials and practical sessions will cover both basic and advanced
>confocal microscopy. The course will enable participants to realise
>the potential behind many developing confocal techniques and realise
>the simplicity of applying the techniques to a broad range of sample
>types and fluorescent labels. Both novice and more experienced users
>welcome.
>
>Preliminary Programme
>DAY AIMS
>Day 1: Basics, Familiarisation, x,y,z and multicolour imaging.
>Day 2: Live-cell imaging with spinning disk confocal microscopy,
>FRAP on laser scanning confocal.
>Day 3: Advanced Techniques covering spectral unmixing and FRET with
>fluorescent proteins.
>Day 4: Further advances. More samples to explore confocal limits,
>and time for participants own samples.
>
>Thursday evening will include a special guest speaker and course meal.
>
>The course will utilise many different sample types ranging from
>cultured monolayers to plant cells. A diverse range of fluorescent
>labels will also be used, which will include various fluorescent
>proteins (CFP, GFP and YFP) and classic antibody labels. Over the
>four days, at least four confocal microscopes (2x Zeiss LSM 710 and
>2x LSM 510 META on both an invert and upright microscopes,
>PerkinElmer UltraVIEW LCI or VoX) will be utilised.
>
>Accommodation (en-suite), breakfast and lunches will be provided for
>the length of the course. Evening meals will be provided on both
>Tuesday and Thursday evenings.
>
>Places are limited to 12 participants to permit full hands-on
>practice, so please book early to avoid disappointment.
>For further information, please visit the course website at:
