Courses
BioOptics Facility
In the light microscopy courses you will get knowledge about microscopy related topics with the aim that you understand the principles behind microscopic techniques and are able
- To plan and perform experiments and
- To interpret and analyse your data correctly.
This will be achieved by a mixture of discussions, demos and hands-on practical sessions. However, to be able to practically work with a specific instrument you need to ask for a personal introduction/ training on the instrument.
Basic Light Microscopy
The course is an introduction to light microscopy. It covers standard transmitted light techniques like brightfield, phase contrast and DIC as well as fluorescence and confocal microscopy. The course is usually held in English.
Image Processing using Fiji
This course is an introduction to the basic principles of image processing: image analysis, visualisation and data handling. We use Fiji (ImageJ) and participants will learn how to fully exploit the possibilities of this software. The course is usually held in English.
Advanced Courses
If requested, the facility can offer the following advanced courses:
- Hyperspectral imaging
- Two-photon microscopy
- Image processing with ImageJ addressing specific problems and tasks
In cooperation with other groups or institutions there may be further options for course topics. Please ask if you are interested in a specific topic. In the past we organised courses for e.g FCS and FLIM. Minimum number of participants for the courses is three, maximal four or eight attendees (depending on the course content) can participate. The advanced courses are usually held in English.
