This advanced microscopy course is intended for PhD students and post-graduates with prior experience in microscopy. The goal of the course is to teach and train fundamental knowledge and skills in a specific microscopic technique. Students will be able to apply this technique to their own present and future projects.
Practical work consists of seven different modules covering a specific topic each (please see description below). Each module lasts throughout the whole course. Students will participate in one practical module only. For the practical training the students will use the latest instrumentation. Apart from practical modules, theoretical sessions will provide sound background of all the different techniques for all students.
An Industry Day, Wednesday, January 19th, provides an overview of the latest developments in instrumentation and techniques currently on the market. Different companies in the field of light and electron microscopy will be invited to this event. Application open from 1st of August to 14th of November. An Application form will be accessible here from the 1st of August only.
