O události

Electron microscopy is a fundamental tool in cell biology, providing visualization of cellular structures at the highest possible resolution. The goal of this EMBO Practical Course is to guide participants from established methods of specimen preparation to novel and technically advanced approaches, including high-pressure freezing/freeze substitution, cryo-ultramicrotomy, and on-section immuno-gold labelling. This EMBO Practical Course places strong emphasis on hands-on training in advanced 3D acquisition and quantitation techniques, in particular transmission EM tomography, scanning EM array tomography, and serial block-face scanning EM. In addition, this EMBO Practical Course introduces stereology, a mathematical approach for quantifying cellular structures. Participants are encouraged to bring their own specimens and will receive project-driven training on how to integrate newly emerging techniques into a comprehensive research framework.
