Classes

Preliminary Meeting (attendance mandatory): Wed, March 9th, 10-10.30am; BZB/SR 3-6th floor, Dr.Bohrgasse 9.1030 Wien.

Limited Attendance: 8 people per course (in total 16)

Course dates (presence at all days mandatory): April: 1.,13.,14.,20.,21.,26.,27.,28; May 3.+4; 2016
Location: MFPL-VBC5, Dr. Bohrg. 9, 1030 Vienna

Registration for one of the two offered Course Groups is SUFFICIENT.
Simple UNIVIS registration is NOT necessarily a ticket for the course. Participants will be selected based on the questionnaire (see below) results by the course manager and will be announced at the preliminary meeting.
Students with experience in light microscopy AND those who have a proven demand for their master/PhD-work will be preferentially selected.
Please fill in questionnaire and send it to josef.gotzmann@univie.ac.at

Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Theoretical basis of fluorescence and confocal microscopy

technical description of equipment

Wet lab experience sample preparation
Quality criteria for dealingwith aberrations correction

practical microscopy of selected samples by fluorescence- and confocal microscopy (multichannel detection, serial optical sections through samples, image projections, generation of time series)

image analysis and deconvolution of selected images

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

The aim of the course is to give theoretical and practical support to students, who are or will in the near future be involved with light microscopical experiments within their Master/PhD/post-doc studies. The small groups (2 people) will allow to advice students somehow personally for their planned experimental approaches.

Examination topics

microscopy sample preparation
widefield fluorescence microscopy (incl. Köhler and contrast enhancement)
measuring point spread function and chromatic aberration
confocal microscopy
image processing using "huygens" and ImageJ software
