Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The goal of the course is to teach Masters and PhD students about different methods which can be used to prepare and perform immunolabelling at light and electron microscopy level, including how to prepare semi-thin and ultrathin sections using a Cryoultramicrotome (Tokuyasu method). Immunolabelling and contrasting using negative staining, cryosections and acrylic sections will be evaluated and compared using the fluorescence and transmission electron microscopes. Finally, stereological methods that may be useful for quantification of immunogold labelling will be presented and discussed.
