Microscopy Autumn School 2022

Aim: Gain knowledge and training on advanced methods in light and electron microscopy
Addressed to: PhD students, postdocs and technicians of UM and MUMC+
Attendants: 16 participants (4 groups, 4 participants per group)
 

Methodology

Introductory lectures in the morning (9.00 - 11.00), workshops in the afternoon (12.00 - 17.30) 
The lectures will cover Advanced Light Microscopy, Room temperature and Cryo-methods for Electron Microscopy, Transmission and Scanning Electron Microscopy, Cryo-Electron Microscopy and Image Processing. In the practical courses you will:

• Acquire images with light and electron microscopes
• Process your data
• Interpret your images and reconstructions

The Microscopy CORE Lab (MCL)
The MCL provides the classic and most recent advanced light and electron microscopy imaging techniques, including superresolution and multiphoton optical microscopy, electron tomography, single particle analysis, correlative light and electron microscopy, focused ion beam and scanning electron microscopy (FIB/SEM) and spinning disc light microscopy at room temperature and cryo-conditions.

The following instruments will be available for the School: 

• Superresolution Leica TCS SP8 STED
• TwoPhoton Leica TCS SP5 MP
• Spinning disc FEI CorrSight
• Leica DM4000 B LED + Perkin Elmer Nuance FX multi spectral imaging
• TEM FEI Tecnai Arctica
• TEM FEI Tecnai T12 Spirit
• SEM Jeol JSM-IT200
• SEM FEI Scios Dualbeam
• Cryo-ultramicrotome Leica UC7/FC7
• Vitrobot
• High Pressure freezer Leica EM HPF
• Freeze-substitution system Leica AFS
• Workstations

The registration for the Microscopy Autumn School 2022 is closed as the maximum amount of participants has been reached.
