There are still a few slots open in the upcoming Basic Confocal Microscopy Workshop at the University of South Carolina. Further information is below.


During the week of June 15-19 the University of South Carolina Instrumentation Resource Facility will again host the "Basic Confocal Microscopy Workshop."   Workshop material is directed towards beginning and intermediate users of confocal microscopes and involves a series of lectures (specimen preparation, labeling strategies, proper set-up of instrument operating parameters, proper handling of 2D and 3D confocal images in programs such as Adobe Photoshop and AMIRA), hands on specimen preparation, and time on a number of different point scanning and spinning disk confocal microscopes.

This is a hands on workshop where participants will stain cells and tissues with multiple labels, collect images, and participate in image analysis exercises using Photoshop and AMIRA.

Faculty will include Dr. Jay Jerome of Vanderbilt University, Dr. Ralph Albrecht of the University of Wisconsin Madison, Dr. John Mackenzie of North Carolina State University, Dr. Tom Trusk of the Medical University of South Carolina, and Dr. Bob Price of the University of South Carolina. Several companies will also have equipment and applications experts on hand to assist with instrumentation and questions about confocal microscopy research protocols.

Cost for the entire week is $350 which covers meals and supplies for the workshop. Please register soon as the workshop has filled the past several years.
