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…
