Practical Course on Super-Resolution Microscopy
Turku Bioscience Cell Imaging and Cytometry (CIC) Core and Turku BioImaging organize the Practical Super-Resolution Microscopy course. This course will take place from Monday, September 23th to Friday, September 27th, 2024, in Turku, Finland. Every day from 9-17. The course will consist of lectures, extensive hands-on practical imaging sessions with provided samples, and group exercises. Course Description The emergence of a range of super-resolution microscopy techniques, that are capable of surpassing the classical diffraction resolution limit of about 200–250 nm in the lateral direction and 500–700 nm in the axial direction, have revolutionized light microscopy. The most commonly used super-resolution techniques are stimulated emission depletion (STED) microscopy, structural illumination microscopy (SIM), and single molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) all of which these days are widely available in commercial implementations including locally in Turku at the Turku Bioscience Cell Imaging and Cytometry (CIC) Core. In addition, recent improvements with point detector design and sensitivity has led to the…
Practical course on Deep tissue imaging, Oxford, UK
Turku Cell Imaging and Cytometry Core Facility has teamed up with the Oxford-Zeiss Centre of Excellence at the Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology at the University of Oxford to organize a joint “Practical Course on Deep Tissue Imaging”. This course will take place in Oxford, UK on November 6-10. Course Description:Deep imaging (>50 μm) in biomedical samples such as thick tissue sections, spheroids, and organoids with fluorescence microscopy has become a much more common quest by bio-medical researchers. Yet, such imaging is very challenging as a consequence of difficulties with deep penetrative staining, and with optical limitations including light penetration, light scattering, and refractive index mismatch. The aim of this course is to collectively explore the use of a range of state-of-the-art fluorescence microscopes that are available within the Oxford – ZEISS Centre of Excellence at the University of Oxford, in order to gain a better understanding of the advantages and…
