Dear all!

We are happy to announce the following course/workshop:
Fluorescence imaging and quantitative analysis of cellular structures

When?            7th of April – 9th of April 2014
Where?           Inst. of Biomedicine, Jonas Lies vei 91, 5009 Bergen
Course fee?    1.600,- (incl. dinner on the second evening )

Information about the course:

Fluorescence microscopy is an important tool in biomedical research, and various chemical and protein-based fluorescent reporter molecules enable studies of diverse cellular structures by epifluorescence or confocal microscopy. The acquired images may be analysed both qualitatively and/or quantitatively in order to retrieve information about the amount, dynamics and interactions of subcellular organelles. Such analysis can be performed in multiple spatial, temporal and spectral dimensions, depending on the available fluorescence reporter systems and imaging hardware. The application possibilities for fluorescence microscopy and image analysis in biomedicine are many.

The objective of this course is to prepare the participant for specialized studies of cellular properties by using fluorescence microscopy followed by quantitative image analysis.

The course will include lectures and discussions regarding the theoretical and practical aspects of quantitative (live-cell) microscopy. This includes cell imaging experiments (conventional and spinning-disc confocal microscopy) as well as image processing and quantitative analysis.
