While I can not comment on the course itself, I can second Jason's
assessment of the landscape around that part of Maine. If I had the money
and time, I would definitely go... Not only to see this Leica 3X STED in
action, but also to go back to Acadia National Park!

"breathtakingly beautiful" is an understatement...

Best Regards,
Pete

P.S. While I was there for vacation in 2011, I stayed in Hancock Maine in
a farmhouse. It was near Tidal Falls which has the highest tide in the
Continental US (3 m), luckily I captured it in a time lapse which you can
see here: http://vimeo.com/28231053

<|> Good morning everyone  I just wanted to let you know that enrollment for
<|> QFM this year is still open.  The course runs from May 16th-22nd at the
<|> Mount Desert Island Biological Labs in Arcadia National Park in Maine
and
<|> we still have slots unfilled.  The toys this year continue to
increase in
<|> number and are directed towards our continued interest in cutting edge
<|> approaches.  They include all types of confocal, live cell, and wide
<|> field machines from all the major vendors (Leica, Zeiss, Nikon, and
<|> Olympus).  Software solutions include all the company specific platforms
<|> as well as Metamorph and Imaris.  These devices are supported by the
best
<|> group of industry faculty anywhere!
<|> This year we will be making a bigger plunge into Super-Resolution
<|> methods, and will have STORM,PALM, GSD approaches available as well as
<|> the very cool and just introduced Leica 3X STED (for the uninitiated
this
<|> allows STED quality resolution in all three axes not just x and y) of
<|> course you will be welcome as usual to bring your own specimens to try
<|> out on this and all the other systems.
<|> If you or any of your colleagues are interested in course content,
<|> faculty or would like to enroll please go to
<|> http://www.mdibl.org/courses/Quantitative_Fluorescence_Microscopy/159/
