About the Practical Course

The major objective of the course is to introduce highly useful live cell imaging methods to potential users: PhD students and Postdocs with research interests in biology. The aim of the course is to teach participants how to think about the live cell experiments and successfully choose the imaging strategy.

The course is focused on variety of approaches in live cell imaging which will be demonstrated on followed machines:

  • Confocal spinning disc microscopy | DragonFly, ANDOR
  • Quantitative phase imaging (holographic microscopy) | Q-PHASE, TESCAN
  • Live Cell Superresolution
    • SIM – DV OMX, GE
    • STED 3X – TCS SP8, Leica
    • RESCue STED, Abberior
  • Photo-Kinetic (FRAP, photoactivation) | DV OMX, DV Core, GE
  • Fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy | FLIM – TCS SP8, Leica

The course is dedicated to users with intermediate to advanced experience in light microscopy, oriented on practical usage, filled with a numerous of practical interactive demonstrations. Plenary lectures cover theoretical background of all presented techniques.

Looking forward to seeing you in Prague!
