Introduction
The MicroSpectroscopy Research Facility and the Wageningen Light Microscopy Centre of Wageningen University will organize a VLAG & EPS funded advanced practical course for postdocs and PhD candidates. The course will cover the theory behind a number of advanced microscopic and micro-spectroscopic techniques that have a wide range of applications in both the Food and Plant Sciences.
The following topics will be treated during the lectures with examples of application in Food and Plant sciences: microscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, confocal microscopy, Förster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) imaging, Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy (FLIM), image analysis, 3D Imaging, time- and spectrally-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy, Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence (TIRF) and super-resolution imaging.
The hands-on training during this course will be in the form of group assignments. For additional individual training after this course, we would like to refer you to the MicroSpectroscopy Research Facility and the Wageningen Light Microscopy Centre.
Registration
The deadline for registration is 15 April 2019 and cancellations can be made without charge until 15 April 2019. Substitutions for participants may be made at any time until the start of the course.
Registrations will be accepted in the order in which the registration form and course fee payment are received. Applicants will be informed of acceptance of their registration by E-mail. They will receive instructions for payment, and further course details.
