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).

Module D Scanning Electron Microscopy
This module is designed as a general introduction to Scanning Electron Microscopy, The students will learn about the fundamental principals in SEM. We will in practice go through the entire process for obtaning SEM data, including fixation, dehydration, critical point drying and coating of specimens. This is then followed by taking micrographs at the SEM. In addition Environmental Scanning Microscopy (ESEM) is demonstrated. It will be possible for the students to bring their own specimens.

 



Aim and content
Understanding the fundamentals of sample preparation for Scanning Electron Microscopy and documentation.

Target group
PhD students within Life and Biomedical Sciences

Teaching and learning methods
Theory and hands-on at the SEM and the preparation lab
