Workshop Format
-
Morning Sessions: These will consist of lectures covering essential scientific topics related to various aspects of microscopy imaging. The lectures will be delivered by both international and local imaging scientists, including some who have invented major microscope technologies, as well as industry experts.
-
Afternoon Sessions: Participants will engage in hands-on sessions working with microscopes or on group projects. Students will be divided into five groups based on their research interests, allowing them to rotate through different microscope stations. In the afternoon, students will apply the knowledge and theories learned during the morning lectures to practical exercises. They will have the opportunity to compare different microscopes and imaging modalities, reinforcing their understanding and ability to choose the best technologies for their research needs.
Scope of Teaching and Hands-On Session
The scope of the workshop includes the theory of microscopic image formation, the difference between different imaging modalities (different wide field contrasting methods, super resolutions, nonlinear, light sheet, etc.), principles of fluorescence and probes, detectors and filters, and the introduction of image processing.
Registrants will practice hands-on operation of different high-end microscopes: the LSM880, Olympus SpinSR, Abberrior STED, 3D Printing, and Chip-based TIRF.
Topics covered:
- Widefield contrasting techniques
- Confocal microscopy
- Super-resolution microscopy
- SPIM
- 3D Printing
- Detectors, filters and light source
- Non-linear microscopy
- Fluorescence and dyes
- Sample preparation
- Basic image processing
- Aberrations and artifacts

The course is supported by the Digital Life Norway Research School and there are a limited number of travel grants available for our members.
