Super-resolution in light microscopy

EMBO

Prague, Czech Republic

May 31 - June 5, 2020 - POSTPONED

Registration Deadline: April 1, 2020

Super-resolution light microscopy (SRLM) is a dynamically evolving field of biomedical sciences. Therefore, the main goal of this course is to teach in-depth practical understanding of key SRLM methods and to enable the participants to apply the appropriate type of SRLM in their own research projects in the future. The focus of this EMBO Practical Course will be on the practical aspects, complemented by theoretical lectures, which will introduce basic concepts of optics and their relation to SRLM methods. The practical application of SRLM will be demonstrated by presentations of ongoing scientific projects presented by leading scientists in the field.

ESRIC Super-Resolution Summer School 2020

Royal Microscopical Society
