Special rules apply for research year students enrolled at Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences at UCPH. All other participants must pay the course fee. Anyone can apply for the course, but if you are not a PhD student, you will be placed on the waiting list for the course until enrollment deadline. After the deadline of enrollment, available seats will be allocated to students on the waiting list. Learning objectives A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to: a. Perform a fluorescence microscopy experiment b. Analyse and interprete fluorescence microscopy images c. Be able to select specific dyes and fluorophores that match the experimental requirements Content The course will focus on introducing participants to application of various microscopy techniques. The course will have lectures where the theory behind different microscopy techniques is described and how to critically interpret results. In addition there will be several practical sessions at the microscopes where the students get hands-on experience. Immunofluorescence; Fluorescent proteins; Live cell microscopy, Image acquisition, processing and analysis (ImageJ, Volocity) Confocal microscopy; Quantitative microscopy Participants Max 12 participants.
