COURSES @ CRG: Applied Super-resolution Light Microscopy
Barcelona, Spain
Organizer: Timo Zimmermann
Course Overview:
In the last years several methods have been developed to overcome the intrinsic limit of resolution in optical microscopy. These approaches comprise the field of super-resolution light microscopy.
It is the aim of this workshop to provide an overview of the current state of super-resolution methods and to give access to such instruments in the form of Stimulated Emission Depletion (STED) and localization microscopes. A special focus will be put on the following applied aspects of these techniques:
- label properties and selection
- optimization of imaging conditions
- deconvolution of STED datasets
- analysis/rendering of localization based data.
Resources available for the workshop:
- Lecture rooms
- Course room for data analysis session
- Advanced Light Microscopy Unit (ALMU): currently 6 confocal microscopes (1x 2P, 1x 2P/FLIM/FCS, 1x CW-STED, 1 x spinning disk/bleaching/TIRF, 2x standard confocals), 1 GSD/Multiline TIRF microscope, 1 fully automated widefield microscope, supporting staff of four imaging specialists and one analysis specialist
