Content
The aim of the course is to introduce PhD students to the professional use of research microscopes. Students can enrol in the following modules, according to their projects and interests:
A - Light Microscopy
B - Histology
C - Confocal Microscopy
D - Scanning Electron Microscopy
E - Summer Course
F - Image Interpretation
The teachers are members of the Center for Advanced Bioimaging (CAB) Denmark. Where relevant, preparation methods for the respective microscope type and hands-on at the instruments are included. Students interested in the course can freely choose the appropriate module(s).

Aim and content
Module B: Plant Histology
This module is designed according to the aim of the student's actual research project and includes theoretical as well as practical training in histological sample preparation of the student's own plant material. After choice the techniques may include whole mount sampling or procedures for light microscopy or transmission electron mciroscopy (including fixation, embedding, semithin/ultrathin sectioning and staining/contrasting). Interpretation of the resulting images and identificaiton of potential artefacts are included.

Learning outcome
Know how to fix plant material for different microscopy applications
Know to embed, section and stain plant material for different microscopy applications
Skills to trim and section material embedded for LM and TEM
Learn to interpret LM and TEM micrographs

Literature
Relevant publications will be provided at the start of the course

Target group
PhD Students within Life Sciences
