Overview
Key facts
The use of fluorescence microscopy (wide field, confocal, multiphoton, and now superresolution) in combination with genetically encoded fluorescence probes comprise a powerful set of scientific tools to study live cells. However, surprising little practical and theoretical training in such methods exists within standard curricula, particular at the early stage of training (Masters or Doctorate level).
This Principles and Applications of Fluorescence Microscopy course provided by the Institut Pasteur offers to cover basic optics principles necessary to understand the origin of microscope resolution and design. Participants will get hands-on experience implementing simple optical configurations to illustrate these fundamental principles.
Subsequently, participants will perform experiments on state-of-the-art imaging equipment provided by microscope vendors.
